The skateboarder, whose son is married to the late Nirvana rocker's daughter, wrote in a since-expired Instagram story that he wishes Cobain had lived to see their kids' child.

In the Instagram story, Hawk also shared a ticket stub from a Nirvana concert in October 1991. He recalled the show was "as transformative as live music can possibly be," adding, "We all experienced something rare and powerful that night. The world would never be the same." Riley Hawk, Tony's 32-year-old son, has been married to Frances Bean Cobain, Kurt's 32-year-old daughter, since 2023.

On the "Hawk vs Wolf" podcast, he said that being a grandfather is "one of the most fun things ever."

She has previously opened up about the loss of her father, who died by suicide in 1994, when she was 20 months old. "I wish I could've known my Dad," she wrote in an Instagram post last year marking the 30th anniversary of his death. "I wish I knew the cadence of his voice, how he liked his coffee or the way it felt to be tucked in after a bedtime story. I always wondered if he would've caught tadpoles with me during the muggy Washington summers, or if he smelled of Camel Lights & strawberry nesquik (his favorites, I've been told)." She continued, "But there is also deep wisdom being on an expedited path to understanding how precious life is. He gifted me a lesson in death that can only come through the LIVED experience of losing someone. It's the gift of knowing for certain, when we love ourselves & those around us with compassion, with openness, with grace, the more meaningful our time here inherently becomes."

Tony Hawk Reveals Why He Wishes Kurt Cobain Was Still Alive, And It'll Break Your Heart
If Tony Hawk's moving tribute to Kurt Cobain makes you cry, all apologies. Over the weekend, Hawk decided to honor the late Nirvana frontman after stumbling upon an old ticket stub from a concert he went to on Oct. 20, 1991. Posting an image of the stub to his Instagram story, Hawk explained that after he competed in a skateboarding competition in Houston, Texas, he decided to check out an alternative rock band from Seattle called Nirvana — who had just released the hit 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' just two months prior. 'Went straight from S.U.A.S event at Houston skatepark to this concert in 1991,' he wrote. 'It was as transformative as live music can possibly be: We all experienced something rare and powerful that night. The world would never be the same.' Although many rock fans likely share the same sentiment about the band, which consisted of Cobain, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic at the height of their fame — Hawk's post then takes a very personal turn. Cobain died by suicide in 1994, leaving his wife, musician and actor Courtney Love, to raise their 20-month-old daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, on her own. In 2023, Frances Bean Cobain married Tony Hawk's son, Riley Hawk. A year later, the couple welcomed a son, Ronin Walker Cobain Hawk. This means that the skateboarding legend and late grunge icon share a grandson. 'I wish Kurt were here,' Hawk concluded. 'So he could see the incredible woman his daughter has become, meet her devoted, caring husband, and hold our wondrous grandchild.' I am sobbing at Tony Hawk posting about his grandchild who is also Kurt Cobain's grandchild — Sara 'anthem boo endorser' Civian (@SaraCivian) February 24, 2025 When a screenshot of Hawk's post made its way to X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday, fans got pretty emotional. 'Who the fuck is cutting onions?' one X user wrote. 'it's 7 in the morning and this made me sob in public,' echoed another. 'I choose to believe in the multi-verse bc there has to be a timeline where Kurt Cobain and Tony Hawk are hanging out together, being the coolest F*ing grandpas ever. That has to exist. I choose that in a parallel world, it does,' another said. 'American royalty I can get behind,' said a fourth user. On the 30th anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death in April 2024, Frances Bean Cobain posted a tribute to her dad on Instagram in which she admitted that she's been grieving him 'for almost as long as I've been conscious.' 'I wish I could've known my Dad,' Frances Bean Cobain wrote. 'I wish I knew the cadence of his voice, how he liked his coffee or the way it felt to be tucked in after a bedtime story. I always wondered if he would've caught tadpoles with me during the muggy Washington summers, or if he smelled of Camel Lights & strawberry nesquik (his favorites, I've been told).' Although she never really knew her dad, the 'Come As You Are' singer's daughter said mourning someone her entire life has led her on 'an expedited path to understanding how precious life is.' She also noted that she also feels a closeness to her father, whom, she's been told, had the same hands as her. 'Kurt wrote me a letter before I was born. The last line of it reads, 'wherever you go or wherever I go, I will always be with you,'' Frances Bean Cobain wrote. 'He kept this promise because he is present in so many ways. Whether it's by hearing a song or through the hands we share, in those moments I get to spend a little time with my dad & he feels transcendent.'
