people too much...so why didn't the just stay?

Courtney Love at his vigil

- NICOLA METHVEN 

Courtney Love's anguished words at a vigil held for her late husband Kurt Cobain will play out on British TV tonight to mark the 30th anniversary of his death.

Fan footage from the gathering, in the Nirvana frontman's hometown of Seattle two days after his death on April 5, 1994, shows more than 3,000 people there.

Many are weeping and holding candles. Courtney's tearful voice is played out over loudspeakers as she reads out sections of Kurt's words from his suicide note. At one point she wails in anguish: "Why didn't you just stay?"

In the recorded message, she tells the crowd: "He left a note, it's more like a letter to the f***ing editor. I don't know what happened - he always said he was gonna outlive everybody and be 120." 

Kurt writes: "I haven't felt the excitement of listening to, as well as creating music, NIRVANA along with really writing something, for Verte too many years now. I feel guilty beyond words about these things."
