Multiple fans posted messages of all different tones, some sad and gloomy, others choosing instead to focus on the more positive messages he promoted.
“If you’re a sexist, racist, homophobe, or basically an asshole, don’t buy this CD. I don’t care if you like me, I hate you.”

Many others also posted tributes and messages of remembrance, but the most notable post was his daughter, Francis Bean Cobain, who posted a short clip of her first ever original song to her Instagram story. Although it was only posted temporarily, fans say the a capella tune was beautifully reminiscent of her father’s works.
