UPDATE May 5: Love told the Seattle Times in a May 2 email she, not Cobain, wrote the note in question, and that she meant for it to be read in a sarcastic tone. The singer claimed she penned it in 1991, three years before her husband’s death.

In a possible foreshadowing of sinister events to come, Courtney Love’s father, Hank Harrison, says his troubled daughter once told him she planned to one day kill a rock star, Breaking Celebrity News can exclusively reveal.
In his unpublished book Love Kills: The Assassination of Kurt Cobain, the author and onetime Grateful Dead, manager recalls a conversation he had with a friend immediately after he learned of his rocker son-in-law Kurt Cobain,’s tragic death, deemed to be a suicide, on April 8, 1994.
“She always said she was going to kill herself a rock star,” Harrison recalls saying of his now-estranged Hole, frontwoman daughter. He says he “trembled uncontrollably” and felt nauseous, knowing something was “off-the-wall” about Cobain’s untimely death.
Later in Love Kills, Harrison— who admits he hasn’t seen his 49-year-old daughter in more than twenty years— recollects taking his troubled daughter into his California home after she completed a stint in a juvenile correctional facility. (Love was allegedly locked up for shoplifting.)
At just 16, Harrison writes Love was never without a “cigarette in one hand, wine in the other.”
He says she soon became addicted to hard drugs, including heroin.
