A Boston busker has opened up about dating Kurt Cobain as he rose to fame, telling how she realized she was dumped when he announced he had been sleeping with Courtney Love live on TV.
Musician Mary Lou Lord met the Nirvana frontman shortly before the band exploded on the world stage and she would go on join him and the band on tour in London.
The two had met at Boston rock club the Rathskeller in September 1991 and quickly struck up a relationship over their shared love of music.
But after spending the night with Kurt as the European leg of the concerts launched two months later Mary Lou said she heard the singer on the phone to someone else in the early hours.
The next morning he told drummer Dave Grohl: 'Oh, Courtney called.'
