A self-drawn caricature by Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain sold at auction for more than 281,000 dollars (£199,000), 28 times its estimate.
The drawing, done in black felt pen on stationary from Singapore’s TNT Music Centre, featured Cobain’s likeness playing guitar.
The revered musician, who took his own life aged 27 in 1994, signed the sketch “Kurdt Kobain Rock Star” and wrote on the drawing, “I don’t know how to play and I don’t give a hoot!”.
