Tessa Osbourne: Last News

How much would you pay to get your hands on a legend's DNA?

Kurt Cobain‘s hair and a pair of underwear apparently “blood-signed” by GG Allin.Punks, Monsters, Smut & Madmen: A Countercultural Cross-Section has been launched online by Potter & Potter Auctions – absentee bids are currently being accepted before the live auction next Friday (March 7) at 12am GMT.Among the items are original pieces by The Simpsons‘ Matt Groening and graffiti artist Keith Haring, an unused ticket for a 1978 concert by Sex Pistols, a signed CD by Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey, relics from the iconic CBGB club, and a billiards table once owned by Steve Albini.A collectible box featuring two strands of Cobain’s hair is currently going for over US$300 as of writing. This item was first collected by barber Tessa Osbourne, who, according to Potter & Potter, gave Cobain a haircut during Nirvana‘s 1989 UK tour supporting their debut album ‘Bleach’.Six strands of Cobain’s hair were previously auctioned for US$14,145 (£10,005) in 2021 – these were likely collected at the same moment in 1989 by Osbourne as the two strands currently for sale.

OK, there are stans and there are stans. Which one are you? The type who would spend thousands of bucks on just a few hairs from your favorite singer?

People really want a piece of Kurt Cobain.
