Kid Cudi's performance on Saturday fell on the same week as the anniversary of Cobain's death at age 27. Cobain, Nirvana singer's and songwriter, died by suicide on April 5, 1994.

The dress resembled one Cobain wore when he appeared on the cover of "The Face" magazine in 1993, according to People.
