Tony Hawk has been a professional athlete since he was a teenager. Birdman began winning competitions and skating as a pro when he was 14, and throughout the years has become the face of skateboarding to many. Tony has landed tons of storied tricks, like the legendary 900, and he’s won tons of skating competitions, from lesser-known competitions to the X-Games.

Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain’s final days are being turned into an opera by the Royal Opera House in London.The production, called Last Days, will be a production adapted from Gus Van Sant’s 2005 film of the same name.The film, which was centred on a young musician called Blake, was loosely based on Cobain’s last days. Cobain died by suicide in 1994 aged 27.A description from the Royal Opera House says that the opera “plunges into the torment that created a modern myth” and that “Blake” is “haunted by objects, visitors and memories distracting him from his true purpose – self-destruction”.The opera has been composed by Oliver Leith, the Royal Opera House’s composer-in-residence.

Tony Hawk, 53, is a worldwide icon thanks to his incredible skateboard career. He’s considered a pioneer of modern vertical skateboarding, and has continued doing philanthropic activities related to the action sport since retiring in 2003. In his personal life, Tony has been married four times. His first three marriages ended in divorce, which Tony has blamed on his busy career. “Each marriage was very different. There were all kinds of other elements, such as behaviors I’ve managed to get control of, but the most challenging factor in my relationships remains travel and prioritizing my time,” he told Sydney Morning Herald in April 2020.
