Read our privacy policy Dame Helen Mirren has said it’s sad Kurt Cobain died young as he would have loved “wonderful” GPS. Mirren made the claim in a new interview that saw her reflect on the process of ageing in the public eye as she admitted “it’s not brilliant”. “I always say it’s so sad that Kurt Cobain died when he did because he never saw GPS as it’s the most wonderful thing to watch my little blue spot walking down the street. “Because from this point on, the human world will only know technology unless there’s some unbelievably catastrophic event and only a few people left on the planet,” she said.
