The legendary skater’s son has a child with the daughter of the died Nirvana front man.
Tony Hawk came across an old ticket from a Nirvana concert at home, which he had visited on October 20, 1991 in the club “The Vatican” in Houston, Texas. On Instagram he let his memories of the memorable evening run wild. He wrote: “I’m directly from the Suas [Shut Up And Skate – Anm.]-Event in the Houston skate park went to this concert in 1991. It was as transformative as live music could only be: we all experienced something rare and huge that night. The world would never be the same again afterwards. “
Tony Hawk raves about Kurt Cobain’s daughter
Tony Hawk added: “I wish Kurt would be here so that he could see the incredible woman who has become his daughter, get to know her devoted, caring husband and hold our wonderful grandchild in her arms.” Cobain’s daughter Frances Bean, who was only one year old when her father died on April 5, 1994, married Hawk’s son Riley in 2023. In 2024 she gave birth to her son Ronin Walker Cobain Hawk.
Before Ronin’s birth, Frances remembered her late father, on the occasion of his 30th anniversary. With the words “My father’s life ended 30 years ago”, her Instagram post, to which she started pictures of the hands of the musician, which was recorded by Rem frontman (and her godfather) Michael Stipe, followed a couple Photos of the two together. “The 2nd and 3rd photo show the last time we were together when he was still alive,” she wrote. “His mother Wendy often pressed my hands to her cheeks and said with lulled sadness:” You have his hands “. She breathed in as if it were her only chance to keep him a little closer, frozen in time. I hope she holds his hands wherever you are. “
She added: “I wish I knew my father. I wish I knew how his voice sounded, how he liked his coffee or what it felt like it was to be covered after a good night story. I have always wondered if he had caught Washington summers with me in the humids, or whether he had smelled of Camel Lights and Strawberry Nesquik (his favorite drinks, as I was told). “
