It looks like Lana Del Rey isn’t the only person displeased with how her recent interview with The Guardian turned out. Frances Bean Cobain, the daughter of Courtney Love and late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, has taken issue with the “Shades Of Cool” singer’s much-publicized “I wish I were dead” comments.
In a series of tweets posted late Sunday night, the 21-year-old expressed her disappointment with Del Rey for romanticizing “the death of young musicians,” invoking her father’s suicide in 1994 to get her point across. Perhaps to keep the more easily agitated Twitter users at bay, Cobain concluded that she was not attacking the singer, who she finds “too talented to waste it away.”
Although Lana has yet to respond to Frances Bean’s tweets, the singer — who celebrated her 28th birthday over the weekend — has since distanced herself from the Guardian article, claiming that interviewer Tim Jonze’s “leading questions about death and persona were calculated” in a series of since-deleted tweets.
In response, Jonze posted a two-minute recording of the section of the Del Rey interview in question, adding that: “Ultimately, the problem with Lana’s complaint is that she doesn’t seem to know what she’s actually complaining about … She’s not alleging that I made up her quotes, nor is she claiming that they’ve been ‘twisted’ or that we’ve printed them out of context.”
