The Final Nirvana Tour: Kurt Cobain’s Rome Overdose at Hotel Excelsior

On March 4, 1994, Kurt Cobain was found unconscious in his suite at the Hotel Excelsior in Rome during a break in Nirvana's final European tour. Cobain had overdosed on a combination of champagne and the sedative Rohypnol—a critical medical emergency that occurred exactly one month and one day before his death. The incident forced the cancellation of the remaining tour dates and marked the beginning of the end for the legendary frontman.
