Cobain’s Ashes Stolen

Cobain's Ashes Stolen

The ashes of legendary grunge musician Kurt Cobain - who committed suicide in 1994 - have been stolen, according to his distraught widow Courtney Love.

The Nirvana frontman’s ashes were taken from Love’s Los Angeles residence, she said.

Cobain’s ashes had been stored in a pink bear-shaped bag, along with a lock of his hair.

Clothes and jewellery were also taken from Love’s home.

Love said she was horrified by the theft and was now suicidal.

“They were all I had left of my husband,” said the Hole singer.

“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 majority of Cobain’s ashes were scattered near his Washington home and at a Buddhist temple, with Love keeping the rest.

    I hate Courtney as much as the next guy, but stealing the man’s ashes is a bastard of a thing to do.

    I agree - this is a really horrible thing to do. Whether you love or hate Courtney, they are her husband’s ashes and stealing them is fucked up. And, if not for Courtney’s sake, I hope they are retrieved for Frances.
