Kurt Cobain Brushing Teeth (1993)

In November 1993, Kurt Cobain turned up to his last ever formal photo shoot three hours late, out of it and asking for a bucket to throw up into.

During the photo shoot Cobain, who killed himself the following April at age 27, appears both cocky and vulnerable, slouching, cloaked in a oversized fake-fur coat, hat and Jackie O sunglasses.

It's the glasses, which photographer Frohman asked Cobain to remove but he declined, which are perhaps at the core of the compelling photographs.

"The glasses to me have, over the years, become his eyes," Frohman says. "The glasses have turned him into a super-folk-hero, where he becomes sort of larger than life."
