Kurt Cobain is Revived in Guitar Hero 5

World Entertainment News Network

NIRVANA star KURT COBAIN has been revived for a new Guitar Hero video game.

Bosses at gaming firm Activision have confirmed a Cobain character will be playable in Guitar Hero 5, which hits stores on 1 September (09).

Late stars Jimi Hendrix and Johnny Cash will also appear alongside an animated Shirley Manson and Matt Bellamy of Muse in the new game.

Nirvana tracks Smells Like Teen Spirit and Lithium - recorded at the band's final British shows in 1992 - will be among the tracks wannabe rockers can play along with.

Cobain's widow Courtney Love and the tragic rocker's Nirvana bandmates all had to sign off on the idea before Activision could add the grunge-era singer/songwriter to the game. (KL/RS/IG)
