The story behind one of the best and most emotional photos in rock history; Kurt Cobain Crying Backstage - Taken by Ian Tilton 1990 //

Kurt Cobain (with Jonathan Poneman of Sub Pop Records) at Motor Sports International Garage in Seattle, WA 09/22/90 - Photographer Ian Tilton: "They did a brilliant gig, I got great pics of him smashing the guitar and then he went backstage and burst into tears. I thought it would make a good photo, but should l take it because it is a vulnerable moment? I am not a paparazzi, l am a documentary photographer. He knew l wasn't pushy and l took a shot - he didn't say no. I took three in all and the first shot he was crying, in the second shot he was sort of ok and the third one he was smiling. A minute between the three was about all this different kind of energy inside him and when he came backstage the energy had to go somewhere. Normally rock stars want to control how they look to the public, but Kurt was different."

"The photograph of Kurt Cobain in tears has been extensively published. Tilton watched Cobain smash his guitar through an amplifier and walk offstage. He followed him backstage. The pent-up emotion ‘just had to go somewhere,’ says Tilton, and Cobain burst into tears. ‘What I really love about it is that it is a very real moment and he allowed it. Other artists would have said, ‘Not now, Ian, please.’ It is very unusual,” adds Tilton, ‘for anyone from a band to show such vulnerability.’”
