JAKARTA - A rather bizarre auction has just taken place in which six strands of Kurt Cobain's hair were sold for USD 14.145 or more than IDR 200 million.
The person who has the iconic blonde hair of the Nirvana frontman is a friend and fan named Tessa Osbourne.
He cut Cobain's hair in 1989 while touring the Bleach album, several years before the hit album Nevermind was released.
The hair was cut from Cobain's head in Birmingham, England. Osbourne kept Cobain's hair in a bag for years, before giving it to Seattle artist Nicole DePolo after Cobain's death.

DePolo ended up giving the hair to Jon Reznikoff, who holds the Guinness world record for "largest historical hair collection".
Cobain's hair was preserved under plastic and sold by Iconic Auctions. According to TMZ, the longest strands of the six strands measure about 2.5 inches.
