Kurt Cobain's daughter slams pop star's death wish

Frances Bean Cobain has spoken out about Lana Del Rey's death wish.

Kurt Cobain's daughter has hit back at comments from Lana Del Rey, after the singer said that she wished she was dead already.

Frances Bean Cobain, whose Nirvana frontman father took his own life at the age of 27, tweeted that "the death of young musicians isn't something to romanticise". She later deleted the tweet.

"I'll never know my father because he died young and it becomes a desirable feat because people like you think it's 'cool,'" she wrote.

"Well, it's f****** not. Embrace life, because you only get one life."

Del Rey said in the controversial Guardian interview that the death of young musicians was "glamorous" and described her life as "one f***** up movie".

She also said she wished she wasn't alive anymore.

"That's just how I feel. If it wasn't that way, then I wouldn't say it. I would be scared if I knew [death] was coming, but..." she said.

However, last week she angrily commented on the interview, arguing that journalist Tim Jonze's questions were "calculating" and "misleading".

"Maybe he's actually the boring one looking for something to write about," she said of Jonze, in a series of tweets, which have since been deleted.

Cobain said her response to the quotes was not a criticism of Del Rey.

@LanaDelRey the death of young musicians isn't something to romanticize (cont)

@LanaDelRey I'll never know my father because he died young & it becomes a desirable feat because ppl like u think it's "cool"(cont)

@LanaDelRey Well, it's fucking not. Embrace life, because u only get one life. The ppl u mentioned wasted that life.Don't be 1 of those ppl

@alka_seltzer666 the other half of what I said wasn't really related to the people he mentioned/ I don't find that part of music glam either

Del Rey has since responded:

@alka_seltzer666 it's all good. He was asking me a lot a out your dad I said I liked him because he was talented not because he died young-

@alka_seltzer666 the other half of what I said wasn't really related to the people he mentioned/ I don't find that part of music glam either

Del Rey's second album, Ultraviolence, reached number one in the UK charts this week.
