i thought courtney love divided them up and did various things with them, didn't she?

THE music world was In Bloom-in' shock last night after hearing that the ashes of grunge god KURT COBAIN have been PINCHED!
I can also reveal that the wife of the NIRVANA legend, COURTNEY LOVE, is said to be "suicidal" after finding Kurt's remains missing from her Hollywood home.
Teddy
 

She had kept the singer's ashes in a pink teddy-bear-shaped bag along with a lock of his hair.
But a couple of weeks ago, she was horrified to discover them gone, along with thousands of pounds worth of clothes and jewellery.
Courtney said: "I can't believe anyone would take Kurt's ashes from me.
"I find it disgusting and right now I'm suicidal.
"If I don't get them back I don't know what I'll do." The sad news will sicken the millions of Cobain and Nirvana fans worldwide.
Kurt, DAVE GROHL and KRIST NOVOSELIC mesmerised the music world in the 90s with hits like In Bloom and Smells Like Teen Spirit.
The band has sold more than 62 million albums worldwide, with classic album Nevermind selling more than ten million copies alone—it's still regarded by critics as one of the greatest albums ever made.
But in 1994, tragedy struck when Kurt killed himself with a shotgun while high on heroin. Some of his ashes were scattered in a Buddhist temple in New York, others were scattered in the Wishkah River near his home in Washington State, and the rest remained with Courtney...until recently, that is.
She said: "They were all I had left of my husband. I used to take them everywhere with me just so I could feel Kurt was still with me.
"Now it feels like I have lost him all over again."

i'm surprised it didn't happen sooner.

Derek 06.01.2008 11:29 AM

I remember reading that Frances Bean scattered his ashes onto a river...

but that's probably wrong then.

nicfit 06.01.2008 11:52 AM

Keith did it.

Everyneurotic 06.01.2008 12:07 PM

stronger shit than his dad's ashes, innit? heroin, skin and gunpowder.

demonrail666 06.01.2008 12:20 PM

Bring in the Australians. The always get the ashes back eventually.

I feel so bad for Francis Bean. What a fucked up family to be born into.

PAULYBEE2656 06.01.2008 12:52 PM

greedrex 06.01.2008 12:58 PM

ashes to ashes
dust to dust

EMMAh 06.01.2008 01:02 PM

That could have been me a couple of years ago, stealing Kurt's ashes hahaha.

The way I see it now though, why would someone want the damn ashes. To look at? To smear all over their dirty little selves?

An exerpt:
Frances and Courtney just got back from New York, where they were looking for apartments. "New York is like my dream city," Frances proclaims. "That's where I'm going to live, I'm convinced of it." The two were captured by the paparazzi at LAX, Frances wearing a shock of red lipstick and a pair of satin heels almost as tall as she is. "Oh, yeah, they're Prada," she says in rat-a-tat-tat style. "I bought them maybe three minutes before we got on the plane 'cause we were staying at the Four Seasons and Prada is right next door, thank God. I wore them out of the shop. Mom and I were like 30 minutes late for the airport because we're both very flaky people."


Seems like a bit of a twat to me. But perhaps I'm taking it out of context.

davenotdead 06.01.2008 02:39 PM

omg, can we just kill this guy already?

nicfit 06.01.2008 02:51 PM

Oh, I'm selling my nirvana cds. ha ha.

pbradley 06.01.2008 04:09 PM

I can't think of one dead rock star more disrespected than Cobain. And I don't even mean the ashes as much as the borderline fetishism of his fan base.
