Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love

Why does everything go smoothly in the lives of some people, while others, on the contrary, experience nervous breakdowns, depression, or even such tragedies that are scary to even think about... In fact, not everything goes smoothly for everyone and not always, and for everyone happy family also have their own skeletons in the closet. It’s just that some put these skeletons on public display, while others keep their closet doors tightly closed...

Courtney and Kurt's romance began with... a fight in one of the bars! The brawl happened after a concert of the Nirvana group, where Kurt played, sang and was generally one of the main characters. Courtney literally ran into Kurt, she screamed and pounded his chest with her fists, and then he... kissed her! Moreover, it was not the polite kiss that people exchange when they meet - no, it was a passionate kiss! And he still didn’t let her go until she relaxed in his hands and stopped beating. “I just wanted to calm her down,” he would say later. “No, you just wanted to meet her!” - friends laughed.

After that more than strange meeting in the bar, they did not see each other for about two years. But if fate decided to bring someone together, then it is better not to argue, but to give her complete freedom of action. So, in 1991, these two met again. Then Nirvana was at the peak of its popularity and Cobain was literally besieged by fans squealing with delight, ready to give themselves to their idol anywhere and at any time.

However, Kurt, this gloomy, always unshaven musician with the eyes of a man who sees what others cannot, did not need such love and short-term relationships with those whose names he did not remember the next morning; and, to be honest, there was no need to remember them...

Courtney and Kurt began dating like ordinary lovers: dates, romantic walks around the city - if time free from tours and concerts allowed. Of course, with this busy schedule performances, such as Nirvana had at that time, the lovers communicated more on the phone, but still they tried to grab every free minute... in order to just be silent and hold hands.

Watching Kurt in ordinary life, Courtney understood that someone who had been using drugs for as long as her lover would most likely never be able to stop. Moreover, she herself, living next to him, will also not be able to avoid this infection. Any disagreement, any scandal, which are inevitable in family life, will lead her, if not to a syringe with heroin, then to pills. But she was ready to take the risk. Moreover, their relationship had already gone too far - Courtney was expecting a child from Kurt.

They got married in the most romantic setting - on one of the Hawaiian beaches, with the sun shining and the waves lapping, in the circle of their closest friends. Kurt was wearing green pajamas - as he himself explained with a laugh, “I was too lazy to change into a suit.” Courtney was wearing a dress that once belonged to actress Frances Farmer. It was Kurt who insisted on such a private ceremony. Later he admits: “I didn’t want there to be a lot of people - I was afraid that I would cry with happiness...”

Kurt was truly happier than he had ever been with anyone before her. He literally carried his wife in his arms, and when their daughter was born, Kurt became the most caring and loving father in the world. His wife and daughter Frances now became his whole world. And if someone looked at Cobain in the family circle, he would not believe that this man, who so tenderly touches the tiny hand of his newborn daughter and looks at his wife with eyes literally radiating with happiness, and the other, whose music and depressive image hit nerves and make the crowd go wild - one and the same person.

Kurt loved his wife and daughter to madness, he idolized them. Once he said to his father: “Every time I look television show about dying children, I can’t help but cry. Every day I am haunted by the thought that I could lose my child. I’m even a little nervous when I take it into the car, I’m afraid of getting into an accident.”

But, despite the fact that they both loved and were both afraid to even think that someday the irreparable would knock on their door, they family life looked not like a quiet idyll, but like a change from hurricanes that so often hit the tropical paradise islands, on one of which they concluded their union. They quarreled - and not just quarreled - remember their first meeting in a bar! They screamed and smashed dishes, destroyed everything in their path, tore each other's clothes, only little Frances, fortunately, remained away from this raging element. The friends didn’t even try to interfere - and, besides everything else, they were already accustomed to such violent expressions of feelings.

Fortunately, Courtney was able to stop in time - she went to the clinic, with difficulty, but still got rid of drug addiction. Kurt was sliding deeper and deeper into this abyss. He himself understood that things could end very badly, but... “When I started taking heroin, I knew that it would be as boring as smoking marijuana, but I couldn’t stop, heroin became like air!”

Yes, for a person who uses heroin, there is usually no turning back. And in order to relax even a little, a larger and larger dose is required. Something that had been hanging in the air for a long time happened: in July 1993, Cobain suffered a severe heroin overdose.

His wife found him lying on the floor unconscious, and it was Courtney, without being confused, who provided first aid: she gave an injection of naloxone, a drug that blocks the effect of the drug. But why didn’t she call an ambulance and send her loved one to the clinic? Yes, because in the evening Nirvana had a concert in New York and without Kurt it would have failed. And despite the fact that he was still feeling bad, he went on stage and played the entire concert, without giving any sign that his heart almost stopped that morning...

In addition to drugs and his wife and daughter, Cobain had another passion in his life - a fatal craving for firearms. He loved holding it in his hands and bought more and more pistols, rifles, shotguns for his collection... Courtney, who was becoming more and more alarmed by this, begged him to stop, but he just laughed: “Baby, guns are like toys for men for Frances!

But, as you know, a gun hanging on the wall must fire someday. On the morning of March 18, 1992, Courtney called the police in a panic - Kurt locked himself in the room with a gun and threatened to commit suicide! The police arrived quickly and acted professionally: they took several guns and pills of unknown origin from Cobain, which were also in the room. Kurt, smiling an unhealthy smile, claimed that he only wanted to hide from his wife: they had quarreled again and he was just going to scare her...

In the end, such tension could not help but affect both of them, but most of all on Courtney, because she was the one who took all the blows in recent months their life together. She cheated on Kurt. Moreover, to make it more painful for him, she made it public...

Perhaps their family ceased to exist a long time ago, but Kurt filed for divorce only now. He was terribly angry and even wanted to rewrite his will, but did not have time... April 8, 1994 in Seattle, in own home, the police found the lifeless body of the one whom millions considered their idol. It looked like a suicide - the Nirvana frontman was shot in the head, and one of his own guns lay on his chest. Police also found a suicide note.

There were many scandalous rumors about Cobain’s death, and although the investigation concluded that the musician shot himself in the head, many contradictions are still found in the case of his death. The note written by Kurt bore little resemblance to a suicide note, and not only no extraneous traces were found on the gun, but also the musician’s fingerprints!

Cobain's fans still blame Love for his death. Many at that time believed that it was she who ordered the murder of her husband. Kurt has already filed for divorce, and of the thirty million that Courtney received when she became Kurt's widow, as alimony ex-wife she could only get a million...

Courtney's involvement in the murder has not been proven, only one thing is clear: these two themselves killed their relationship. And if Love was able to stay on the edge of the heroin abyss and get away from it, then Kurt died in it irrevocably. In addition, despite the scandals and the high likelihood of divorce, these two crazy people, who once so symbolically met in a bar, were madly in love with each other... Courtney loved Kurt, and Kurt loved Courtney...

He wasn't afraid to leave. In his diary you can read: “I am not afraid of death. When you die, your soul continues to live and becomes absolutely happy. Complete peace after death, rebirth into someone else - this is the most great hope my life." Did his hopes come true? Who knows... However, the music of Nirvana is alive, in which Kurt Cobain, undoubtedly, was once the very soul...

Rock love stories never end well.

Rock love stories never end well. Rockers do not know how to live happily ever after, an example of this is Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love.

Romantic meeting

At the time of their acquaintance, Kurt was already known as the lead singer of the increasingly popular group Nirvana. The debut album was released in 1989, and the famous single Smells Like Teen Spirit - in 1991. Love was the daughter of rich hippies, from the age of 16 she traveled the world, played in the band Hole, which was moderately successful, but did not reach the popularity of Nirvana.

Kurt and Courtney first saw each other in January 1990 in one of the Portland clubs and, according to legend, ... got into a fight. Courtney made a rude comment about his appearance, which was flirting in her mind, but not in his. Cobain did not remain in debt and pushed the offender to the floor.

“It all happened in front of the jukebox, my favorite Living Color song was playing, and beer was spilled on the floor,” Courtney later recalled this romantic moment.

A few months after such a bright acquaintance, Courtney admitted to their mutual friend, Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl, that she was in love with Kurt, and Dave became their “Cupid.”

They met again at a concert in May 1991, then talked for hours on the phone. Both were children of divorced parents, had difficulty communicating with others, and took drugs.

Despite such a number of " general topics“They didn’t get along right away. By that time, fans had already made Kurt their idol, journalists labeled him “the voice of a generation.” Cobain was not too happy about the decline in popularity. And he pestered his friends by talking about Courtney: “I met the coolest girl in the world!” The next time they saw each other was only five months later.

"Bean"

On February 24, 1992, Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love got married. The wedding took place in Hawaii, on Waikiki beach. Only a few friends were present at the modest ceremony.

The groom wore checkered flannel pajamas, and the bride wore a dress that once belonged to Frances Farmer, an actress from the Golden Age of Hollywood cinema, best known for her scandalous and tragic fate, rather than roles.

On the wedding day, Courtney was already pregnant; on August 18, 1992, the couple had a daughter, Frances Bean (Bean - “bean”, that’s what the father called the girl when he first saw her on an ultrasound).

Kurt loved his daughter very much, in one of his interviews he admitted: “I knew that when I had a child, everything would change, and this pure truth. I can't tell you how much my life changed when we had Frances. When you hold a child in your arms, you feel like this is the best drug in the world.”

"The best", but not the only one. The birth of the child was accompanied by a scandal. By that time, journalists already knew about the drug addiction of the Nirvana frontman, and Courtney’s statement that she took drugs during pregnancy added fuel to the fire. An investigation began, and the young parents barely managed to regain custody of their daughter.

Perhaps no less has been written about the death of Kurt Cobain than about the duel between Pushkin and Dantes, but the debate still continues. His body was found on April 8, 1994. The official version is suicide. He died from a shot in the head; the gun was found there, with a suicide note nearby.

The singer's body was cremated. Courtney, a practicing Buddhist, donated some of the ashes to make ritual tsatsa figurines (in the Buddhist tradition, the ashes of people considered holy are added to clay to help them be reborn). Courtney kept some of the ashes and a lock of her husband's hair for herself.

The official version of death quickly gained supporters and opponents. By unofficial version the culprit was Courtney.

They were very different: the withdrawn and unsociable Cobain and the hot-tempered, violent Courtney. It is not surprising that the pair quickly became labeled in the spirit of Lennon and Ono. The insidious harpy Courtney lured the humble rocker into a trap - that was the general belief. Close friends, however, did not think so - Kurt was very difficult to push around.

Rocker's Widow

Cobain started smoking marijuana while still in school, then switched to heroin to numb the stomach pain he was suffering from. for many years. Courtney, who at first also did not deny herself a dose or two, at some point tried to stop her husband, who was getting more and more bogged down. More and more drugs were needed, depression became deeper.

Shortly before the singer's death, Love placed him in a rehabilitation clinic, from where he escaped. Courtney hired a private detective to search, then blocked the credit card so that Kurt could not buy the dose.

Later, this detective became one of the supporters of the version of the murder, which he named Courtney as the orderer. The motive for the crime was the most unromantic - money. Cobain and Love have clashed constantly in recent months and have begun talking about a divorce, which would result in Courtney receiving only a million of her husband's money, rather than the thirty she received as a widow.

But further documentaries This conspiracy theory didn’t go well in the books. Kurt's family did not support this idea, knowing his character and state of mind at the time of death, in addition, at big family Cobain had several suicides.

A year after her husband’s death, in a television interview, Courtney tearfully denied all accusations against her, but admitted that she blamed herself, referring to the clinic and blocking of the card, which forced Kurt to go on the run. “I shouldn’t have interfered, I shouldn’t,” she repeated.

20 years later

Courtney Love is now 51 years old. During all these years, she continued to shock the public and create scandals. They say that in 1995, at the Oscars, the singer tried to beat up a journalist who had once written that she took drugs during pregnancy, and Courtney tried to do this with a statuette of Tarantino himself (and he doesn’t have many awards) .

Music scene she also doesn’t think about leaving yet, sometimes she acts in films, in the 90s she played for Milos Forman in the films “The People vs. Larry Flynt” and “Man on the Moon”, and now she can be seen in cameo roles TV series "Sons of Anarchy" and "Empire".

As for her relationship with her daughter, Courtney’s relationship is not the easiest – in 2009, she received a court injunction preventing her from approaching Frances Bean. And recently the girl secretly got married, which greatly upset her mother.

From time to time, rumors appear about new fans of Courtney, but none of them have been able to take Kurt’s place in her heart. In August this year, on her daughter’s birthday, she posted an old photo on her Instagram account. family photo, captioning it: “I’m so sad. Our child is already quite big. God, Kurt, look at her face, what were you thinking?.. I miss you, we all miss you.”

Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love

Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love met in 1989. Nirvana moved back and forth in Portland, Oregon. Perhaps it was love at first sight. The couple did not see each other for two years; they met again only in 1991. They both realized that the liking was still mutual and they decided to hang out together. But with so many other relationships in rock 'n' roll, constant concerts and as Nirvana became increasingly popular during 1991, the two saw very little of each other. But they maintained their love by talking frequently on the phone and tried to see each other as often as they could. Nothing could stop their love for each other. In December 1991, the couple decided to get married. Some believe that Courtney pushed the marriage because she saw the increasing popularity of Nirvana's Nevermind album, and wanted a piece of the pie.

On February 24th, 1992, the couple married on a cliff in Hawaii. Kurt was wearing green pajamas, and Courtney was wearing an old dress that once belonged to Seattle Actress Frances Farmer. Kurt didn't want it to be a big ceremony because he was afraid he would cry. Chris Novoselic and his wife Shelley were not present at the ceremony as the two couples had just had an argument over Chris and Shelley blaming Courtney for influencing Kurt, and more specifically for using heroin. They found out everything later, but best friend Kurta did not attend his wedding. By the way, Kurt was crying. Nirvana was supposed to play Saturday Night Live for the first time (they played it twice). Courtney found out that she was pregnant. Means mass media immediately decided to highlight the couple's drug use. After the news of her pregnancy became known, Courtney went a bit off drugs; Kurt, however, doesn't. Courtney later became the victim of the worst tabloid article ever written about the couple; Lynn Hirshberg of "Vanity Fair" decided that she would pester Courtney apart, write a lousy article regarding her and heroin use. She decided to make their life hell on earth. “Fuck off, everyone smokes during pregnancy,” Courtney defended.

Franziska (Frances) Bean Cobain was born on August 18th, 1992. The baby was away from Kurt and Courtney for some time, although the baby was doing well and was as healthy as can be. The couple spent most of their income that year fighting the media to ensure Frances' safety. They bought a house for her before Christmas 1992. Frances had a very happy childhood. Kurt and Courtney took great care of her. But the couple's reputation began to decline. They also started arguing a lot more often, almost every day. But at the same time, Kurt said that the existence of Courtney and Frances makes him happy.

March 1st 1994, Nirvana played them last concert in Munich, Germany. The rest of the European tour was cancelled. Later that month, Kurt was hospitalized in Rome after a failed suicide attempt (sleeping pills and champagne). "It was an accident" was Geffen's excuse, but those who knew Kurt knew that it was not so. On April 4th, Kurt ran away from a drug treatment clinic in Los Angeles and flew home to Seattle. For unknown reasons, probably depression and stomach pain for several years, he decided to kill himself with a shotgun. Hell on earth was over, millions of fans, wife, child, and friends were left behind. The semi-automatic Remington M-11 20 ended its life in one of the most big stars V modern rock music. Information about whether Kurt actually shot himself may be inaccurate. Tom Grant is still trying to convince us that it was not suicide, but a murder carried out by Courtney Love herself. Whether this is true or not is unknown. But here's what Courtney said after Kurt died:
"Imagine: You are young. And you have been unlucky all your life. And suddenly, finally, you meet a man with whom you feel good. Nothing like this has ever happened to you before. And you are in love. And you believe that this will last for life. And Here's your reward: he's handsome, and he's rich, and he's a rock star, and he wants to have children, and he understands everything you tell him. finishes your sentences. He is lazy, but he is spiritual, and he wants to be enlightened. And you even have a place where you can live together. He is perfect in everything. ..And then you lose all this..."

The groom was in checkered flannel pajamas, and the bride was in a dress that once belonged to Frances Farmer, an actress of the “Golden Age” of Hollywood cinema, known more for her scandalous and tragic fate than for her roles.

On the wedding day, Courtney was already pregnant; on August 18, 1992, the couple had a daughter, Frances Bean (Bean - “bean”, that’s what the father called the girl when he first saw her on an ultrasound).

Kurt loved his daughter very much, in one of his interviews he admitted: “I knew that when I had a child, everything would change, and this is the honest truth. I can't tell you how much my life changed when we had Frances. When you hold a child in your arms, you feel like this is the best drug in the world.”
