Nirvana is simply one of those rock and roll bands that people will never stop loving, especially since the band's deceased frontman, Kurt Cobain, was as iconic as they come. Now, thanks to a new auction, you can not only own a lock of his hair, but for a measly $20,000, you can own the cardigan he wore during the band's epic 1993 MTV Unplugged segment.
The lock of hair had been given to a doll-maker by Courtney Love and was leftover after the doll had been made for Frances Bean Cobain, according to the item's certificate of authenticity. The green cardigan was obtained from a "close friend of the Cobain family" and has a burn hole and discoloration near the left pocket, according to Julien's Live, who is behind this mass listing of rock and roll memorabilia.
Rolling Stone reports that a total of 350 items have been listed, including items from The Beatles (including a lock of John Lennon's hair as well), Michael Jackson, Elvis, Jimi Hendrix, Frank Sinatra, Madonna, Prince and more.
The Elvis items are a little bit darker, including an empty bottle of Valium and his life insurance policy. The mold for Madonna's shoes is also up for sale in case you were hoping to make some of your own? You may also be interested in the credit card application that Whitney Houston once filled out.
In other Kurt Cobain-related news, a collection of newly uncovered tracks and demos made by the artist will be released as Montage of Heck: The Home Recordings on November 13.
Watch Nirvana performing "The Man Who Sold The World" during their historic MTV Unplugged set, where Kurt can be seen indeed wearing that cardigan well.
