NotAshley Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Nirvana's late singer and guitarist's ashes have been stolen from wife Courtney Love's Los Angeles home, over 14 years after his death. "I can't believe anyone would take Kurt's ashes from me" she said. "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" she added. "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". This report comes after Love's claims from earlier this year that over £100 million was stolen from the Cobain estate through use of his social security number. It's sick and twisted of someone to do this, and I expect it's the same person who stole that money earlier this year, some of which was daughter Frances Bean's.
Dante Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 What the fuck... No great loss. Your really evil EEVILMURRAY!
chairdriver Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 This is worse than the time someone tried to mailbomb Bjork. Well not really, but still it's pretty messed up.
Tellyn Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Love probably snorted them and forgot it ever happened.
EchoDesiato Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Hasn't she already sniffed part of his ashes once?
Slaggis Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 No great loss. Fuck off. -- It's crazy, why would someone steal something like that (I mean I know why, but how could they?). It obviously means a huge amount to someone, I mean it's the remains of a person for christ sake. What's wrong with people nowadays?
The Bard Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 "I find it disgusting and right now I'm suicidal." This is clearly the best case scenario. Anyway, tis a shame, he was an interesting character.

Daft Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 To be fair he is already dead, the only loss now is material. Its pretty awful but worse things are happening in the world.
EEVILMURRAY Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Your really evil EEVILMURRAY! It's not just a name, tis a state of mind. Fuck off. Nah. I've never been a fan of Cobain, and Courtney Love is a bitch. Like I said, it isn't a great loss to the musical profession.
Twozzok Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 I personally don't think the ashes being stolen is the oddest thing of this story, it's more the... (from http://www.nme.com/news/nirvana/37013) "The ashes were said to have been kept in a "pink teddy bear-shaped bag along with a lock of his hair" and were taken with some jewellery and clothes." and (though more understandable) She added: "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." The thief probably just thought it was a handbag or something and stole it. (along with the clothes and jewellery)
EEVILMURRAY Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 and (though more understandable) It's understandable she carries her husband's ashes around everywhere?
nightwolf Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 eBay gold. I thought exactly the same thing, but then I thought no somebody couldn't be that stupid..though it could happen. It's such a stupid thing to do anyway and so disrespectful, ok the man was a legend and in my opinion still is, but this is a dead person's ashes and not something that should be taken REGARDLESS if the person used to be famous. Utterly disgraceful edit: evil you'd be surprised alot of people do
Ramar Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Courtney Love is a nutjob, why didn't she just bury him like regular people. Poor Kurt, no wonder he killed himself, living with that tart must have been hell.
Mundi Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Dunno but I chuckled at this news. When I read this the first thing I saw in my head was a group of Nirvana fanatics inhaling his ashes.
NotAshley Posted June 2, 2008 Author Posted June 2, 2008 Dunno but I chuckled at this news.When I read this the first thing I saw in my head was a group of Nirvana fanatics inhaling his ashes. The worrying thing is, it probably is a Nirvana fan or Nirvana fans who stole Kurt's ashes, thinking it's an acceptable thing to do.
EEVILMURRAY Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 edit: evil you'd be surprised alot of people do I can imagine, but 14 years on you'd think she'd be able to let go a bit.
chairdriver Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Courtney Love is a nutjob, why didn't she just bury him like regular people. It's not uncommon to be cremated...
Gizmo Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 It's not just a name, tis a state of mind. Nah. I've never been a fan of Cobain, and Courtney Love is a bitch. Like I said, it isn't a great loss to the musical profession. Whether you like the guy or not, stealing anyones ashes is pretty fucked.
Twozzok Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 It's understandable she carries her husband's ashes around everywhere? More being the key word, I know I wouldn't carry around someones ashes everywehre I go.
