The auction of the guitar that once belonged to Kurt Cobain came to an end. The cardigan was worn by Cobain during Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged performance in 1993, and has since become a symbol of the grunge movement. The Smells Like Teen Spirit singer wore the grungy knit at the recording in 1993, which has since become one of the most-watched recorded performances from the band. Kurt Cobain’s cardigan is one of the most iconic items of clothing in the world, and it is said to be worth around 20,000. Well, besides perfectly encapsulating the Nirvana singer’s grungy vibe, this cardigan was the one worn at the band’s iconic MTV unplugged session, a personal and much-acclaimed performance recorded just five months before Cobain committed suicide in April 1994. The cigarette-burned cardigan worn by Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain for an iconic MTV Unplugged set has sold for a whopping 489,000.
