Hollywood actor turned frontman of rock band 30 Seconds To Mars, Jared Leto, recorded a special tribute which he has now released to mark the anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death, which was on April 5. 

Writing publicly on his official blog, the 'Kings And Queens' singer explained:

"I heard today was the day Kurt passed away 17 years ago. Can’t believe it’s been that long. So grateful for his contribution and inspiration. Not sure I’d be doing this if it weren’t for him. He gave us all permission to create no matter what our skill set and reminded me that dreams are possible. Thanks for that."

He continued:

"This made me recall a short piece of film I shot when I heard they were making a film celebrating his life. I made it to explore the character and explore creative possibilities. I never sent it to the studio or to anyone but thought I’d share it now…"

The video he shared with his fans sees him reveal an impressive character and musical portrayal of Cobain as he performs an uncanny rendition of Nirvana's 'Pennyroyal Tea'. Watch the tribute here:
