Courtney Love posts tribute to ‘twin flame’ Kurt Cobain 29 years after his death
Courtney Love paid tribute to her late husband, Kurt Cobain, 29 years after his tragic death.
Calling the ’90s rock legend her “twin flame,” Love, 58, shared an up-close black-and-white shot of the Nirvana frontman’s hands via Instagram Thursday, a day after the April 5 anniversary of Cobain’s passing.
The photo — taken by R.E.M. musician Michael Stipe — was praised by Love as a “powerful photograph” of her late husband.
“It is one of the only images (or sounds/ tastes etc) that makes me miss him deeply,” she wrote. “But he chanted with me & often, & truly was moved by our Buddhist practice. Thus,
I know he’s in an enlightened place, more so, than we here in mappo are.”
Love — who shares daughter Frances, 30, with the late rocker — concluded her tribute, writing, “i & we love & miss you.”
The musical couple’s daughter also posted in memory of her father in a now-expired Instagram story post.

“‘Life is like a wave crashing upon the shore & death is like the wave returning back to the ocean, back to its most natural state,’” she wrote.
“Free from pain or human worry,” the visual artist added. “Death serves a purpose. It is what makes life so precious, in the same way pain is purposeful because we wouldn’t know joy without it.”
Frances concluded her post by urging her followers to “hold” their loved ones “a little more tightly and a little bit closer for me today.”
Love and Cobain began dating in 1991 and wed on a beach in Hawaii the following year, where the guitarist notably showed up to his own big day in green and white flannel pajamas, according to The Post.
Cobain, who was said to suffer from mental illness and addiction, passed away two years later from a self-inflicted gunshot to the head.
