Twitter Beef - But Francis Cobain's a Vegetarian



     In a recent interview, pop star Lana Del Rey told the guardian that she wishes she were "already dead." and mentioned the death of young musicians such as Amy Winehouse and Kurt Cobain. But daughter of the late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, Frances Bean Cobain, had something to say about Del Rey's death wish.

     In a series of tweets directed to Lana Del Rey, Cobain responded:

“The death of young musicians isn’t something to romanticize … I’ll never know my father because he died young & it becomes a desirable feat because ppl like u think it’s ‘cool.’ ” She continues, "Well it's f*cking not. Embrace life because you only get one life. The people you mentioned wasted that life. Don't be one of those people." 


     Cobain felt that Del Rey was "romanticizing" death and although she wasn't happy with her statement, she also tweets that she has no animosity toward the "Ultraviolence" singer. Lana Del Rey tweeted back saying that her words were misconstrued and that she respects Kurt Cobain because of his work, not because he died young.

     Death is such a touchy subject to ask an artist about, especially when it's about suicide. Do you think Lana Del Rey's view on dying young is offensive?
