A note found in Kurt Cobain’s wallet that mocks his marriage to Courtney Love has been released for the first time since his death in 1994.
The brief, handwritten note states, “Do you Kurt Cobain take Courtney Michelle Love to be your lawful shredded wife,” and goes on to say, “even when she’s a b**** with zits and siphoning all [your] money for doping and whoring.”
The release of the note by Seattle police is the latest revelation to come out of the department’s decision to launch a review into Cobain’s death 20 years ago.
Seattle police also recently released dozens of photos from the crime scene that had previously not been developed (giving a whole new weight to the conspiracy theories that Cobain had been murdered and that there had been a police cover-up).
The note will add fuel to the fire that Cobain’s relationship issues with Love were at the heart of his suicide. (On the other hand, it could just be another example of Cobain’s legendary sarcastic songwriting wit.)
There’s no doubt that the note is in stark contrast to his believed suicide note in which he called Love a “goddess … who sweats ambition and empathy.”
Cobain was found dead on April 8, 1994 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in his Seattle home by an electrician who was working at the property.
