Frances Bean Cobain was two years old when her father died. The world-famous grunge star Kurt Cobain, who took his own life in 1994, probably has hardly any memories. All the more important to her, however, is a special memento of the legendary musician, as several media report: According to the guitar.
For several months now, a seemingly ugly divorce war has been going on with her husband Isaiah Silva - the central issue at stake is apparently the musical instrument with which Kurt Cobain performed at the legendary Nirvana concert "MTV Unplugged" in 1993. In any case, as the British "Daily Mail" and the Canadian "National Post" say, his daughter will not give away this "priceless family heirloom."
According to reports, the Acoustic Guitar, a Martin D-18E, was previously owned by Silva. He claims to have received it from his wife and therefore claims the instrument for himself. Whether the dispute is also about money is unclear - at least it would be a considerable amount: The Cobain heiress is said to have inherited her father's stately fortune, hundreds of millions of euros are still to be left.

Frances Bean Cobain: dispute over an instrumentBehind Frances Bean Cobain's interest in the guitar is probably no nineties-nostalgia - that's what they think little, said the 24-year-old of the "Vogue". Why the fashion world is currently so interested in this decade, she is completely mistaken: "I do not give a damn about what they did in the nineties, I was not there, and it is irrelevant to me," said Cobain.
"Yes, the nineties were style-defining, definitely, but that's not my thing." For fashion, she is quite interested, after all, they earned money with it: Currently, Cobain is the face of the spring collection of Marc Jacobs.
