Courtney Love ruined Nirvana, says music boss
Courtney Love caused the downfall of her husband Kurt Cobain's band Nirvana according to a new book detailing the late rocker's life.
Former record executive Danny Goldberg writes in his forthcoming memoirs, 'Bumping Into Geniuses', that the Hole frontwoman led the doomed musician into a world of drugs and debauchery.
In the revealing tome, the author claims Love acted as Cobain's "mouthpiece" and once demanded that Goldberg give them a huge amount of cash which they were allegedly planning to spend on a heroin binge.
He writes: "I felt pretty uncomfortable as I delivered the package of $100 (€70) bills to her at the hotel.
"Abruptly, the dark cloud of drug excess had entered the band's life. I was confronted by the baroque facade of lies and the awful glassy-eyed deadness that regular heroin use provides."
He adds: "Courtney's very presence was a metaphor for the end of one era in the band's life and the beginning of another."
The pair married in 1992, having a daughter, Frances Bean, later the same year before Cobain committed suicide in 1994.
'Bumping Into Geniuses' is scheduled to hit shelves later this month.
