Mudhoney’s Steve Turner just lately made an look on the Urge for food for Distortion podcast. He went on to disclose his ideas on the ultimate days of Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain and Alice In Chains’ Layne Staley.

The guitarist, who ‘knew Cobain higher than Staley’, stated the next concerning the final days of the Nirvana frontman:

“We did a variety of exhibits with Nirvana, however Kurt was a really shy individual and, clearly, very troubled. The final time I noticed him, he was strolling down the road from the course the place he lived, like, he had escaped was what it appeared like. As a result of I knew they’d had him in rehabs, and he stored leaving stuff, and he didn’t look properly in any respect. You realize, that was unhappy.”

Turner then defined how he came upon about Cobain’s dying and in contrast it with Staley’s:

“After I heard about his dying, I used to be in Washington DC, on tour with Pearl Jam, Mudhoney was opening for Pearl Jam on a leg of their tour on the time. In order that was kinda surreal, and it was numbing on the time, actually. I don’t assume I handled it for a very long time after it, however you recognize, Layne factor was such a gradual and unhappy decline that each one the rumors had been terrible about him. And Chris [Cornell] was out of nowhere, that was the surprising one.”

Staley himself, too, was one of many individuals to be affected closely by the passing away of Cobain. The Alice In Chains frontman mentioned the matter simply as soon as in an April 1995 Pandemonium interview. He stated:

“Kurt and I weren’t the closest of mates, however we bumped into one another at exhibits and frolicked. I knew him properly sufficient to be devastated by his dying. I simply don’t perceive in any respect. The final time I noticed him, he gave me a experience from QFC on Broadway to a pal’s home, the entire approach there, which was a couple of fifteen-minute drive, he talked about his daughter. For such a quiet individual, he was so enthusiastic about having a baby; he actually beloved that little lady. A couple of month later, I noticed on the information that he was lifeless.”

Eight years after Cobain’s dying, Staley handed away attributable to heavy use of medicine on the identical date of April 5.
