Nirvana's Krist Novoselic has spoken out about the last time he saw Kurt Cobain prior to the frontman's suicide.
Speaking to Spin, Novoselic described his doubts and concerns around Cobain's drug use at the time, and the emotional turmoil surrounding Cobain's attempted suicide in Rome.
"He was out of his mind on heroin," Novoselic said. "I remember seeing him those last days and he was loaded. And so he wasn't thinking clearly when he did that [committed suicide]."
"And after Rome, he tried to kill himself in Rome, and he was really weird after that. Like, quiet and just kinda, he should've never done that, but he did it. You know, it's just like, it's terrible. People do it. I was heartbroken when it happened. It was terrible."
Novoselic continued: "I wish Kurt woulda lived and then was like a monk somewhere. He woulda been a great monk. He coulda been a great painter. He coulda been a great sculptor. He was such a talented artist. He coulda done whatever he wanted to do. He didn't have to do what he did."

In recent Nirvana news, Universal Music is planning to put out a collated album of unreleased material from Cobain's personal collection. It's due for a November drop date following the release of the Kurt Coabin Biopic, Montage of Heck, earlier this year.
