Courtney Love remembers the day Kurt Cobain performed in a ‘placenta robe’

Courtney Love told details about the day he Kurt Cobain introduced himself wearing a hospital gown. In an interview with BBC Radio 6asked her to tell one of her craziest concert stories.

The frontwoman of Hole revealed that the famous robe worn by her then husband during the show at the festival Reading it was the same one she wore when giving birth Frances Bean. “He was wearing my placenta robe, but that’s not the craziest part,” she assured.

“The crazy part is that earlier that day, L7 rang – they’re some of my oldest friends – and they were throwing things at them, like, really hard. A bottle got it right From Plakthe drummer, in the eye”, he began Love. “Donita, the vocalist, was pissed. She was on her period and was having a heavy flow day, so she reached into her crotch, took out the tampon and threw it in.”

“There’s a video on YouTube, and you can watch it. Like, it’s really bloody. And there’s more: somehow, the tampon came back on stage,” the singer recalled. “I didn’t even know that the Nick Cave rang that day. Yes, Nick I was staring at a tampon full of blood the whole time.”

“Often people say to me, ‘Oh, you threw the tampon in the Reading‘… I wish. The few times they threw things on stage, it had already been done, so I didn’t want to copy Donita, so I didn’t repeat what she did. But, man, what a brilliant idea, congratulations to Donita Sparks.”
