It was only a week ago that Courtney Love, who will be here in Australia for the Soundwave 2012 tour, announced to the world that she intended to pen a tell-all memoir of her life with Kurt Cobain and the events surrounding his death.
The timing was classic Love, during the 20th anniversary celebrations of the issue of Nirvana’s seminal album Nevermind, so it’s only natural that she continues to ride that train by revealing in an interview with Vanity Fair that the frontman tried to kill himself 3 times before he succeeded.
When asked by Vanity Fair is she was mad with Kurt for taking his own life, a ever-classy Love revealed “Mad? Ya think?! If he came back right now I’d have to kill him, for what he did to us. I’d fucking kill him. I’d fuck him, and then I’d kill him.”
She continued, “He tried to kill himself three times! He OD’d at least five times. I was the fucking E.M.S. I was always sticking pins in his balls. I carried around Narcan!”
Vanity Fair alleges that Love is consumed with a conspiracy theory that she and Kurt were defrauded of up to $250 million, so much so that she has an army of assistants who work around the clock trying to uncover some evidence to recover the money.
“We could never find our money!” she says. “We had $135,000 in our bank account. They said that if he would go do Lollapalooza he would make $11 million… Do you think Kurt would have killed himself if he had known he had $54 million?”
