It's better to burn out than to fade away
Kurt Cobain (Nivirna) committed suicide in 1994. In his suicide note, he ended his note by citing Neil Young's song "Hey Hey My My" lyrics "It's better to burn out, than to fade away" as artistic justification for ending his inconsolable anguish. Neil Young was so devastated by Cobain's personal reaction to a song that was basically written as a celebration of Punk; he said he would never perform "Hey Hey My My" again in concert. However, he did later.
(And of course, there are all these conspiracy theories that Cobain was actually murdered.)
