Courtney Love married Kurt Cobain 28 years ago yesterday (February 24), and she marked the anniversary with a touching post to Instagram.

Love shared a photo of her and Cobain along with the following caption: “28 years ago, we got married in Honolulu on Waikiki beach. Tonight spoke to sponsor, I lit some candles, chanted, diamoku, walked my dog, went to sushi with my best friend, the closest I have to another one. 28 years ago I recall feeling deeply delighted, dizzy, so in love and knowing how lucky I was. This man was an angel. I thank him for looking out for me. Many parts of the last 28 years have been torturous, chaotic and uphill. And in public? That is the darkest sh-t imaginable. It almost tapped my resilience. Almost. But between Kurt’s strange, amazing divinity and the honor of a few true friends, the gift of desperation and sobriety, of a Higher power and of love and of empathy, I’m here now. It’ll be ok. F-ck, I see him on the shore. Rocking in the free world. My husband.”

• 9. U2 – “One”

  Alice in Chains weren't messing around out the gate with their first single, "Man in the Box," off their debut album, 'Facelift.' It serves as another reminder of the power of Layne Staley's incredible voice.
