Frances Bean Cobain has paid poignant tribute to her dad Kurt Cobain on what would have been his 50th birthday today (20th February).

The visual artist and model, who was just 20 months old when Kurt died in April 1994, took to Instagram to share a handwritten note she has written to her dad.

She wrote: “Today would have been your 50th birthday. You are loved and missed. Thank you for giving me the GIFT of life. Forever your daughter, Frances Bean Cobain.”
