Were Ian Curtis and Kurt Cobain, brilliant front men in their own style, doomed or was their tragic passing something that arose from a serious of unfortunate events?
Both had drug issues, one prescription, the other illicit. Both had relationship issues. Ian's life was falling apart after a epilepsy diagnosis that meant he couldn't always perform and his young marriage was on the rocks.
Kurt presumably struggled with a heroin addiction and was discontent with key areas of his life at the end. His band and his marriage seeming to be the primary areas. I think he may have struggled with some mental and physical health issues before that.
They both left a wonderful legacy, but were gone far too soon in many of our eyes.
