According to the article, the theory came to light after a video of Peruvian singer Ramiro Saavedra emerged performing Come As You Are was shared online. Published on Tuesday 13 September 2016A report published by the Daily Mail claiming that Kurt Cobain is still alive is true, Nirvana’s official Facebook page has confirmed this morning. If that wasn’t unconvincing enough, the video clip sees Saavedra playing guitar right-handed, unlike the famously left-handed Nirvana frontman. “Finding left-handed guitars isn’t easy”. “We are so happy to have him back and forgive him for all of the sadness that we have held so deeply in our hearts”, the Facebook post reads. A video from 2012 resurfaced of Saavedra performing a rendition of “Come As You Are”. That means Cobain, who took his life in 1994 at the age of 27, has managed to only age 5 years, and also look Peruvian. “I think people love the idea of conspiracy theories”, said the administrator of the page. “I can’t do anything right!” One fan convinced Cobain did not kill himself, reportedly commented: “OMG Kurt Cobain from NIRVANA is alive”, although cynics noted that Saavedra plays the guitar with a different hand to Cobain.

If Kurt Cobain were still alive today, he would be 49-years-old.

The confirmation comes following a recent story that claimed that not only was Mr. Cobain alive and well, he was actually living in Peru.
