Frances Bean Cobain’s ex-husband reportedly claimed in a lawsuit that Courtney Love hired a group of men to take back Kurt Cobain’s guitar in June 2016. Isaiah Silva, who was married to Frances Bean Cobain for two years, claimed on Tuesday that the men Love hired robbed, assaulted, sexually abused, kidnapped and tried to murder him in his West Hollywood home.
The guitar in question was Kurt Cobain’s 1959 Martin D-18E acoustic guitar from Nirvana’s famous set on MTV’s “Unplugged” in 1993. Cobain’s daughter reportedly agreed in May to let Silva have the guitar after a bitter dispute in wake of their December divorce.
