Frances Bean Cobain is honoring her late father Kurt Cobain’s life 30 years after his passing.
The 31-year-old wrote a lengthy tribute to the Nirvana frontman via Instagram while sharing throwback photos — including two sweet snaps from “the last time [they] were together while he was still alive.”
The artist wrote, “I wish I could’ve known my Dad. I wish I knew the cadence of his voice, how he liked his coffee or the way it felt to be tucked in after a bedtime story.”

She noted that there was “deep wisdom being on an expedited path to understanding how precious life is.”
Frances explained that in the wake of the musician’s April 1994 suicide, “he gifted me a lesson in death that can only come through the LIVED experience of losing someone.”
She explained, “It’s the gift of knowing for certain, when we love ourselves & those around us with compassion, with openness, with grace, the more meaningful our time here inherently becomes.”

The model concluded by citing a letter Kurt wrote to her before he died.
“The last line of it reads, ‘wherever you go or wherever I go, I will always be with you,'” Frances wrote. “He kept this promise because he is present in so many ways. Whether it’s by hearing a song or through the hands we share, in those moments I get to spend a little time with my dad & he feels transcendent.”
Her fellow A-list offspring, from Paris Jackson to Ireland Baldwin, commented on the social media upload with heart emojis.
Frances was born to Kurt and Courtney Love in August 1992 and was 1 when the Grammy winner died.
Friday’s post is not the first time she has honored her father on social media over the years.
On what would have been the rocker’s 50th birthday in February 2017, she wrote, “You are loved and you are missed. Thank you for giving me the gift of life.”
That same year, Frances was battling her ex-husband, Isaiah Silva, in court over one of Kurt’s guitars — which she allegedly gave to the Eeries singer, 39, when they tied the knot.
Silva was awarded the famed instrument, a 1959 Martin D-18E guitar, in May 2018.
Following their divorce, Frances moved on with Tony Hawk’s son Riley Hawk. The duo got married in October 2023.
