Kurt Cobain’s widow Coutney Love has been discussing details about an upcoming musical about the late Nirvana musician.

Kurt Cobain died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound 20 years ago today (April 5) in 1994.

Speaking to The Telegraph about the Broadway musical, which is currently in the works, Love explained:

“It’s more a play, conceived by a brilliant team. I can’t name names, but when you hear who is possibly involved, it takes on a new dimension. Otherwise it’s Vegas rubbish, and I will never allow it.”

She added: “There will be no jazz hands on ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’!”

The Hole singer and her daughter Frances Bean Cobain are due to appear at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 10 when Nirvana will be inducted.

Talking about the prospect of being faced with Cobain’s old band mates, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoslevic, Courtney said: “I wasn’t in Nirvana, but it’s what widows and kids do. And it does give me ownership of the mythology, rather than just handing over to Krist and Dave their ownership.”

Courtney Love will play a UK tour in May.
