A self-loathing drug addict violently ends his life with a shotgun blast to the face, who would have thunk it?
In a recent interview with BBC Radio 1, Dave Grohl admitted he had a sneaking suspicion that Kurt Cobain wouldn’t live a long, healthy existence.
“There are some people that you meet in life that you just know that they are not going to live to be a 100 years old,” Grohl said. “In some ways, you kind of prepare yourself emotionally for that to be a reality.”
Yet despite all the blinking neon warning signs, Grohl insists he was taken aback upon hearing the news of Cobain’s passing.
“It was a terrible surprise,” he said. “It was probably the worst thing that has happened to me in my life. I remember the day after that I woke up and I was heartbroken that he was gone. I just felt like, ‘Okay, so I get to wake up today and have another day and he doesn’t.’”
Grohl said he embraced the traumatic event as a moment of personal catharsis.
“Usually it takes something like that for people to appreciate life as a gift and you have to take advantage of the time that you have,” he said. “Sometimes you can’t save someone from themselves.”
