While many are celebrating the tenth anniversary of Nirvana's "Nevermind" this fall, Courtney Love doesn't seem too sentimental.
A fan holding a picture of her deceased husband, Nirvana leader Kurt Cobain, caused Love to storm offstage at a Hole show on Saturday (Nov. 12) in São Paulo, Brazil. Watch below.
"I don't need to see a picture of Kurt, asshole, and I'm gonna have you fucking removed if you keep holding it up," she began, flashing her middle finger. "I'm not Kurt. I have to live with his fucking shit, and his ghost, and his kid, every day."
And that was Love being polite.
After snapping back, "Go see the fucking Foo Fighters [ex-Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl's band] and do that shit," and threatening to attack the fan, Love retreated offstage. Only after a crew member led the audience in a chant of "Foo Fighters are gay," did the set -- during which Love flashed the crowd -- resume.
