Nirvana respond to the latest 'Kurt Cobain Is Alive!' Conspiracy Theory

Nirvana’s official Facebook page have responded to the latest internet conspiracy theory that suggests frontman Kurt Cobain is still alive, over 20 years after his death. The bizarre theory emerged online this week after a video circulated of a Peruvian singer who bore a resemblance to Cobain, performing ‘Come As You Are’.   In the video from 2012, singer Ramiro Saavedra was seen performing the track from Nevermind on Peruvian talent show ‘Yo Soy’. Thanks to his blonde hair, sunglass and Cobain-style outfit, Saavedra bore enough of a resemblance to Cobain for some fans to suggest that it actually was the singer, who died in 1994.   However some more observant fans pointed out that Saavedra was playing the guitar with his right hand, while Cobain played left-handed. On Monday the official Nirvana Facebook page shared a link to a Daily Mail article about the theory and gave their take on wether or not Kurt lives on.

  “It is true, Kurt is alive,” the page wrote. “He needed time to learn to play the guitar with his right hand. Finding left-handed guitars is not easy. We are so happy to have him back and forgive him for all of the sadness that we have held so deeply in our hearts.”   Cobain was found dead on April 8 1994 at his home in Seattle, Washington. His death was officially ruled as a suicide by a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head. However speculation and theories from fans about the circumstances surrounding his passing have continued ever since.
