Kurt Cobain’s Hair Sells For $14K at Auction!

Can you believe that 6 strands of Kurt Cobain’s hair was auctioned off and the winning bidder paid $14,145 to own a piece of rock history?

CelebnMusic247.com bets Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain would have never believed that six strands of his hair would be worth so much.

This means that each strand of hair was worth $2,357.50.

Pictures of the hair can be seen at TMZ (click if you want, but you know what hair looks like).

The strands are preserved in plastic. The auction house that put them up for sale, Iconic Auctions, says the longest one is two-and-a-half inches.

Providing further backstory, the hair comes from an October 1989 cut that Kurt got while he and the rest of Nirvana were on the “Bleach” tour.

Also packaged with the hair were pictures of the haircut that show Cobain with friend Tessa Osbourne, who also doubles as the person who chopped his hair on that day. Said haircut happened in Birmingham, England. Tessa kept the hair in a bag (?) and then gave it to Seattle artist Nicole DePolo following Cobain’s death. From there the locks exchanged hands again, going to John Reznikoff, a.k.a. the Guinness world record holder for “largest collection of historic hair,” whatever that means. It hit auction earlier in May.

The hair is said to be the only pieces of Cobain’s that were out there for sale.

Far be it from me (some guy) to tell others how to spend their money but, between this and NFTs, all we can say is wow, really.

Wouldn’t it be interesting if someone could clone Kurt with a strand of his hair?
