Is Kurt Cobain really ALIVE? Nirvana frontman ‘spotted’ in bizarre video that has sent the internet into meltdown

Conspiracy theorists go crazy over video of singer performing Come As You Are

A VIDEO of a singer performing a Nirvana song has internet users claiming Kurt Cobain is ALIVE.

The rocker committed suicide on April 5, 1994, at the age of 27.

But fans were amazed at footage of singer Ramiro Saavedra singing Come As You Are, because he looks and sounds exactly like the original.

And it has even led some to believe the Nirvana frontman didn’t die after all.

The video was first posted in April 2012, but has recently been doing the rounds on social media after it resurfaced on Reddit.

One user wrote: “OMG Kurt Cobain from Nirvana is alive!”

Another simply added: “He is alive!”

Not everyone thought the rock star had been reborn though.

One viewer added: “Not bad, bit weird and unoriginal, but not bad.”

The spooky likeness was actually filmed on the Peruvian talent show Yo Soy (I am) – where wannabe stars cover favourite songs.

The manner of his Kurt’s death has been fodder for conspiracy theorists for twenty years.

Some fans believe his wife, Courtney Love, had a hand in his death and point to the fact that he carried a note in his wallet mocking his marriage and calling his wife a “b**** with zits.”
