Photographs by Guzman
It’s been exactly 30 years since we lost Kurt Cobain — and even all this time later, there are some photos of the late rocker you haven’t seen … including these ones with Courtney Love.
To mark 3 decades since his death, a husband and wife named Constance Hansen and Russell Peacock — who form the photog duo known as Guzman — have released a new set of images capturing the Nirvana legend in the simple joys of everyday life with his then-wife.
The images are from their iconic 1992 “Family Values” photoshoot for Spin! magazine, where only 5 images — including some with their 5-week-old daughter Frances Bean — were used out of the 100 taken. Now, we’re getting a look at all the rest … and they’re fascinating.
The full set of unearthed photos, rescued from storage, will truly get its moment spotlight in Guzman’s upcoming book, “Family Values: Kurt, Courtney & Frances Bean.”
The images capture the true essence of their rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle … and Kurt and Courtney’s household is on full display — lounging around in an unmade bed, with baby Frances nestled in their arms, Kurt strumming his guitar, and Courtney puffing on a cigarette.

As you know … Kurt was only 27 when he took his own life on April 5, 1994.
He was at the height of his career and had an enormous influence on music … creating the grunge movement with other bands. His death has reverberated in pop culture ever since.
