FRANCES BEAN Posts First Public Song On Instagram: WMMR.com
Frances Bean Cobain, the daughter of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, shared her first song on Instagram. The caption of the post read in part: “I’m SUPER restless because I can’t play guitar with long nails so I’m just sitting in my room alone singin to mah self. not having a TV in my house is the best decision because I’m forced to occupy my time with things that feed my brain & soul instead of wasting energy on thinking about not having to think.” She later took the video down from Instagram, but footage is still circulating on YouTube. Today (4/5) is the anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s passing. He took his own life at his home in Seattle in 1994.

The best way to make God laugh is to announce your plans out loud. So I’m just going with the flow.”
