Evan Dando “Courtney made Kurt cry.”

Evan Dando also enjoyed a famously truculent relationship with the icon. Dando’s band The Lemonheads broke through with their 1992 album ‘It’s A Shame About Ray’ transforming the singer into a pin up for Generation X.

Rumour linked Dando to Courtney Love, then married to Kurt Cobain. In a new interview with Gigwise, the former Lemonheads frontman spoke candidly about his attitude to Kurt Cobain.

“Courtney was saying that we were having an affair – I was never attracted to Courtney.”

“She was like ‘I made Kurt cry last night’. She is crazy”.

Continuing, Dando insisted that Cobain would know the truth in the after life. “It made me very sad and I was thinking, now that Kurt’s gone, he knows what really happened. It really didn’t have to happen”.

Evan Dando is now the only constant member in The Lemonheads, who toured Britain earlier this year. Surviving drug abuse and numerous splits in his group, Dando is one of rock’s true cult heroes.

The singer spoke of his admiration of Kurt Cobain. “Kurt was amazing, he could do so many amazing things but we never really got to know each other as Courtney got right between us. It was horrible”.
