Kurt Cobain's Ashes Stolen

2008-06-01 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 18 Comments
The News of the World is reporting that the ashes of the late Kurt Cobain, he of Nirvana and shooting himself in the face with a shotgun fame, have been stolen from the house of wife Courtney Love, along with a number of other valuable items.

Love is reportedly "suicidal" over the loss. She has carried the ashes around with her, along with a lock of Cobain's hair, in a pink teddy bear-shaped bag in order to keep a piece of her husband with her at all times. However, in the past couple of weeks, she discovered the bag missing from her home, along with several hundred thousand dollars worth of clothes and jewellery.

This is not the first time Cobain's estate has been burgaled in recent years. Fraudsters reportedly made away with up to $72 million in purchases, having used Cobain's identity to make contracts and obtain credit cards.

Grohlster was an awesome drummer, shame he has to play guitar now. I am glad he got songwriting chops from Kurt, but unfortunately he also got his guitar chops.
