Courtney Love 'Wanted To Snort Kurt Cobain's Ashes'

March 16, 2011
Courtney Love 'Wanted To Snort Kurt Cobain's Ashes'Courtney Love wanted to snort her late husband and former Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain's ashes.

The revelation is included in a new book Everyone Loves You When You're Dead, written by music journalist Neil Strauss.

In an interview with Radar Online, Strauss said Love suggested they both snort Cobain's ashes during an interview.

“She was serious when she made the suggestion,” Strauss said. “She actually said she would offer his ashes to me first to snort and then said she would like them.

“But the idea was nixed as I don’t do coke.”

In an exert from the book, Strauss tells Love: “Yeah, I don’t think that would be the right thing to do," to which she then replies: “I’d like to though.”

Cobain was found dead at his home in Seattle on April 8 1994. He is believed to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

Strauss's book, which was released this week, also includes interviews with Lady Gaga and Snoop Dogg.
