Some of music's greatest stars died young, preserved for all eternity in our memories as youthful pioneers in music. But what if the likes of Kurt Cobain, Elvis Presley or Jim Morrison were still alive today? A new project has attempted to reveal just that.

A collection of digitally produced images by Sachs Media Group has revealed what some of music's most iconic star who died in their prime would look like now. Subjects include Nirvana frontman Cobain, Bob Marley, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and many more.

It's an interesting project, if not entirely flattering to its subjects. Click here to see the gallery in full at the source.

The fascination with deceased icons, and Cobain in particular, refuses to ease, with a new movie biopic apparently still in the works - according to Courtney Love. She claims young actors are lining up to have sex with her to score the lead role.

Meanwhile, the grunge icon's childhood home (including a mattress he slept on as a kid) was recently put on the market for $500,000. A bizarre slice of music memorabilia for only the most committed (and wealthiest) Nirvana fan.
