Their rock anthem "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is described as "a wake-up call to a generation". The album "Nevermind" hit No. 1 in February of 1992. Followed up by album In Utero. On March 1, 1994 Kurt Cobain took a near-fatal overdose of a prescription sedative in Rome after the end of the band's European tour. Cobain entered a drug-rehabilitation clinic in California, but left soon after. On April 8th 1994 Kurt Cobain was found dead in his house. A shotgun was found at the scene.
