Kevin Tachman—WireImage/Getty Images by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker Jun 23, 2014 4:41 PM UTC Frances Bean Cobain never got to know her father, Kurt Cobain, because the Nirvana frontman killed himself at age 27, when Cobain wasn’t even two years old. No wonder Cobain doesn’t appreciate Lana Del Rey making a death wish in a recent interview in _The Guardian_ and on her new album, _Ultraviolence._ In _The Guardian_ profile of Del Rey, the singer says she saw glamour in an early death. “I wish I was dead already,” [ she reportedly said](http://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/jun/12/lana-del-rey-ultraviolence-album). When the interviewer expressed concern, she responded, “I do! I don’t want to have to keep doing this. But I am.” Yesterday, Cobain took to Twitter to remind her followers that “the death of young musicians isn’t something to romanticize. “I’ll never know my father because he died young and it becomes a desirable feat because people like you think it’s ‘cool,’” [she tweeted](https://twitter.com/alka%5Fseltzer666/statuses/480894603738877952). “Well, it’s f\*\*king not. Embrace life, because you only get one life.” She also directly tweeted Del Rey saying, “ur too talented to waste it away.” Cobain followed her comments[ by noting ](https://twitter.com/alka%5Fseltzer666/statuses/480894603738877952)that she was not attacking Del Rey, but simply “trying to put things in perspective from personal experience.” She later deleted the tweets, but [Pitchfork](http://pitchfork.com/news/55670-frances-bean-cobain-to-lana-del-rey-the-death-of-young-musicians-isnt-something-to-romanticize/) has screen shots of them. Del Rey has since backed away from the statement she gave to _The Guardian_, saying it was taken out of context. She tweeted, “i regret trusting the guardian,” [as MTV points out](http://www.mtv.com/news/1850872/lana-del-rey-i-wish-i-was-dead-twitter/). The author of the article, Tim Jonze, [wrote an essay](http://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2014/jun/20/lana-del-rey-problem-interview-but-why) repudiating Del Rey’s claims, noting that she named her debut album _Born to Die_ and “had spent much of the 50 minutes previous to this point telling me how miserable she was.” To further prove his point, he included [audio of Del Rey’s quotes](https://soundcloud.com/timjonze/lana). As seems to be the norm, Del Rey’s tweets on the subject were later deleted. **MORE**: [Courtney Love Is Still America’s Sweetheart](http://entertainment.time.com/2014/02/21/courtney-love-web-series-twibel-hole-reunion/) **MORE**: [REVIEW: Lana Del Rey’s Ultraviolence Is the Album We Need Right Now](http://time.com/2891289/review-lana-del-reys-ultraviolence-is-the-album-we-need-right-now/) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2912010/lana-del-rey-frances-bean-cobain-dying-young/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2912010/lana-del-rey-frances-bean-cobain-dying-young/"},"headline":"Lana Del Rey's Death Wish: Frances Bean Cobain Says She Needs to \"Embrace Life\"","datePublished":"2014-06-23T16:41:52.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-31T07:44:05.135Z","description":"It's hard to argue with the daughter of Kurt Cobain","url":"https://time.com/2912010/lana-del-rey-frances-bean-cobain-dying-young/","keywords":["Music","Lana Del Rey","Kurt Cobain"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3eb6b50672c4916e/69869642cd6848364509511d/lana-del-ray.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3eb6b50672c4916e/69869642cd6848364509511d/lana-del-ray.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"amfAR's 21st Cinema Against AIDS Gala Presented By WORLDVIEW, BOLD FILMS, And BVLGARI - Dinner","caption":"amfAR's 21st Cinema Against AIDS Gala Presented By WORLDVIEW, BOLD FILMS, And BVLGARI - Dinner","creditText":"Kevin Tachman—WireImage/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/2912010/lana-del-rey-frances-bean-cobain-dying-young/","name":"Lana Del Rey's Death Wish: Frances Bean Cobain Says She Needs to \"Embrace Life\""}}]}] ```
