Kurt Cobain had ancestry in Ireland and when on tour there (and before he knew of his ancestry, I believe), he walked around the city of Cork with tears in his eyes. He said it was the most spiritual day of his life.
In a strange twist of fate, not long after Kurt died, Dave Grohl was spiritually lost and had given up on music and went driving through the Irish countryside, perhaps looking for inspiration, direction or a distraction from his past.
While driving through the Irish countryside he came upon a hitchhiker wearing a Kurt Cobain t-shirt.
So here he was, thousands of miles from home, trying to escape his past and what it meant, losing a good friend and the band's main creative force, and he couldn't escape Kurt.
This had a big impact on Dave and he took it as a sign from Kurt for him to get back into music.
And the rest, as they say, is history.
