Kurt Cobain's āTeen Spiritā Guitar SoldĀ ForĀ 4.5Million At Auction
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā
A piece of rock and roll history blew pre-sale estimates away at Julienās Auctions this weekend, as the 1969 Fender Mustang electric guitar used byĀ Kurt CobainĀ in Nirvanaās 1991 āSmells Like Teen Spiritā video brought in around $4.5 million.
The original estimate for its sale price was $600k, but a bidding war quickly broke out during the auction, which was finally won by theĀ Jim IrsayĀ Collection of Indianapolis. In support of Mental Health Awareness Month, the Cobain family is donating a portion of the proceeds to Kicking The Stigma, an initiative to raise awareness of mental health disorders run by the Irsaysā.
Other Cobain items sold at the auction included his 1965 āBaby Blueā Dodge Dart 170 sedan, which went for $375k, his personally drawn 1985 Iron Maiden āKillersā skateboard deck with an added NFT for $35,200, and Cobainās original artwork of Michael Jackson plus an NFT for $87,500.

Ozzy Osbourne Needs Another Neck Surgery Because of That 2003 ATV AccidentĀ
Ā
Remember whenĀ OZZY OSBOURNEĀ crashed his ATV and almost died?Ā Well, that was in 2003 . . . some 19 years ago . . . and he's STILL feeling the effects.
Ā
Ā
In fact, he needs another neck surgery because of it.Ā He says, quote, "I can't walk properly these days.Ā I have physical therapy every morning.Ā I am somewhat better, but nowhere near as much as I want to be to go back on the road."
Ā
Ā
After the accident, Ozzy had surgery to repair a broken collarbone, eight fractured ribs, and damaged vertebrae in his neck.
Ā
Ā
But then, back in 2019, he suffered a fall at his home that dislodged the metal rods and bolts surgeons had placed in his back and collarbone.Ā So he had to go under the knife again.
