Courtney Love Plans to Sell Cobain’s Belongings
|
Courtney Love, widow of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, says she is planning to sell off many of her late husband’s belongings. “I’m going to have a Christie’s auction,” Love, 42, told spinner.com. “(My house) is like a mausoleum.”
Love and Cobain were married in 1992 and had a daughter, Frances Bean, that same year—two years before Cobain committed suicide with a shotgun.
“My daughter doesn’t need to inherit a giant Hefty bag full of flannel fucking shirts,” said Love. “A sweater, a guitar and the lyrics to ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’—that’s what my daughter gets. And the rest of it we’ll just fucking sell.”
Love says her friends support the idea of the auction, which is not yet scheduled. “Everyone’s been positive and behind me on it. We’ll make a lot of money and give a bunch to charity.”
And it will help the widow Love move on from Cobain, as well.
“I still wear his pajamas to bed,” she said. “How am I ever going to go form another relationship in my lifetime wearing Kurt’s pajamas?”

And I even agree with Courtney's decision. She can never move on with her life as long as she keeps a houseful of his crap. Do people honestly expect her to be able to progress past his death if she has his junk littering the place? Good for her.

This seems a bit cheesy and opportunistic. Love's "movie career" panned out to be nothing, and Hole is a long forgotten band. It's not surprising that she would do something like this to get her name in print again and make some money. I know they had millions, but, given her lifestyle and personality, I'd bet she's squandered it. Give some to charity? Sounds fishy not saying how much or to which charity.
BTW, Frances Bean would now be 15 years old. I think she can decide what she wants of her father's possessions without her mother deciding for her. Wow, this baby is now 15--makes ya feel old.

This does not surprise me in the least.
Love has always been a greedy person.
Besides who cares what she does with the no talents herion addicts belongings.
Cobain sucked and so does she.More Tone, Les Paul
Now shut up and play yer guitar!
