Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck

A guitar smashed on stage by Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain is going under the hammer later this month in the United States.

The guitar has been put back together, but is no longer playable, said Kody Frederick of Julien's Auctions, which expects the musical artifact to fetch $80,000.

An album of unreleased music by grunge icon Kurt Cobain will come out in November to accompany a documentary on the late Nirvana frontman, the director has said.

In researching ?Montage of Heck,? filmmaker Brett Morgen discovered more than 100 early cassettes recorded by Cobain, who grew up in the lumber town of Aberdeen, Washington.

“Montage of Heck” is the first documentary on Curt Cobain’s life with his family’s approval.

Kurt Cobain is the focus of a new documentary that probes the life and untimely death of the Nirvana singer-guitarist.
     
It will be released in theaters next year and air exclusively on HBO, the network said Tuesday.
