Courtney Love revealed that Kurt Cobain tried to kill himself a number of times

Courtney Love has revealed that her former husband, Kurt Cobain, tried to kill himself more than once.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, the singer and actress explained that the Nirvana frontman tried tocommit suicide three times and overdosed on heroin on a number of occasions:

"He OD’d at least five times. I was the f**king E.M.S [Emergency Medical Services]. I was always sticking pins in his balls".

She also claimed that when they were a couple and had their baby Frances Bean, who is now 19-years-old, they had financial difficulties:

"We could never find our money. We had $135,000 in our bank account. They said that if he would go do Lollapalooza he would make $11 million… Do you think Kurt would have killed himself if he had known he had $54 million?"

Love recently recently signed a book deal with William Morrow for a tell-all memoir.

Cobain commited suicide in 1994 and his monumental album with Nirvana, 'Nevermind', is currently celebrating its 20th anniversary
