Was it down to smoking?

Was it down to smoking?

Think Kurt was smoking on something else when he died.

Always found it mad they didn't discover Layne Stayley til 2 weeks after he died, fully decomposed on his couch. You'd think somebody that famous would have at least 1 mate to check up on him, sad

Two excellent MTV Unplugged sets as well. The Alice in Chains one is a bit haunting as one of Staley's last performances.

Just say no, kids

I remember that Lee Brilleaux of Dr Feelgood died a day or two after Kurt.

Think Kurt was smoking on something else when he died.

The gun was probably smoking too.

I had Cobain in my Dead Pool (pick 10 people that will die in 1994) that year. He was under 40 so he was worth 2 points instead of 1. I also had Richard Nixon so I won going away.

Still think Nevermind is one of the most important records ever made.

Layne was my favourite rock singer. At his peak he was incredible.

Kurt Coldbrains eh? He was a member of that stupid 27 club. That was the age when they committed suicide/died: Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Amy Winehouse, Brian Jones (although he may have just drowned, been murdered?) too.
