Cobain believed he originally hailed from Cork but his ancestors came from Carrickmore in Tyrone. They emigrated in 1875.

Speaking to RTÉ news, Frances Bean Cobain said: “I am so thrilled to participate and support my family as they honour their brother and son at The Museum of Style Icons in Ireland. I have always been the most intimately informed of who my father was by my grandmother and aunts.

“I am so ecstatic that their view of who Kurt was gets to be celebrated with Nirvana fans the world over.”
