As we reflect on the passing of Kurt Cobain, it's hard to ignore the impact he left on popular culture, even over 30 years later. His tragic death at the young age of 27 shed light on important issues such as mental health and the pressures of fame. But for Dame Helen Mirren, it's a different aspect of Cobain's passing that she finds devastating.
In a recent conversation with Evgeny Lebedev for The Evening Standard, Dame Helen shared her sadness over the fact that Cobain never got to experience GPS technology. She remarked, "I always say, it's so sad that Kurt Cobain died when he did because he never got to see GPS. It's the most wonderful thing, my little blue spot walking down the street. I just find it completely magical and unbelievable."
Naturally, this unexpected comment from Dame Helen has caused quite a stir on the internet, with many social media users making their own comparisons with famous figures throughout history. Some joked about other technological advancements Cobain missed out on, while others thought about the things he could have experienced if he were alive today.
But this isn't the first time Dame Helen has thought about Cobain and the things he didn't get to see. In a 2015 interview with Cosmopolitan, she mentioned, "I was thinking about Kurt Cobain the other day and he died without knowing the internet, and I'm totally blown away by that." And in another interview with the Daily Mail, she shared, "If I'd died at 27, the age that Kurt Cobain died in 1994, I'd never have even known there was an internet! Incredible things are happening all the time and I can't wait to see what comes next."
It's clear that Dame Helen is touched by the fact that Cobain's life was cut short and that he missed out on experiencing the ever-evolving world. But as we remember him and his contributions to music, let's also look forward to the future and embrace the wonders of technology. After all, as Dame Helen said, "Incredible things are happening all the time."
