Del Ray left insisting she's not a fan of dying young

Lana Del Rey insists she doesn't find dying young "glam".

The 'Ultraviolence' singer has defended herself following a twitter rant from Frances Bean Cobain - the daughter of late rocker Kurt Cobain, who committed suicide aged 27 in 1994 - who slammed her for "romanticising" early death in a recent interview.

In a series of tweets which have now been removed from her account, Lana, 28, wrote: "it's all good. He was asking me a lot [about] your dad I said I liked him because he was talented not because he died young.

"the other half of what I said wasn't really related to the people he mentioned/ I don't find that part of music glam either (sic)"

In her Twitter posting, 21-year-old Frances - whose mother is Courtney Love - urged the 'Video Games' singer to "embrace" life after she said in the interview that she wishes she was dead and thinks it's glamorous to die young.

She tweeted: "@LanaDelRey the death of young musicians isn't something to romanticize (cont)

"I'll never know my father because he died young & it becomes a desirable feat because ppl like u think it's "cool"(cont)

"Well, it's f**king not. Embrace life, because u only get one life. The ppl u mentioned wasted that life.Don't be 1 of those ppl

"LanaDelRey ur too talented to waste it away. (sic)."
