Lana Del Rey Defends Kurt Cobain Statements On Twitter: 'I Said I Liked Him Because He Was Talented Not Because He Died Young'

Lana Del Rey cleared up the confusion regarding her quotes in The Guardian claiming she wanted an early death like Amy Winehouse or Kurt Cobain.

The "Video Games" singer took to her Twitter account to respond to Cobain's only child, Frances Bean Cobain, about the statements she made in the article. Del Rey was quoted as saying she wished she was "dead already," which elicited a response from Frances.

"The death of young musicians isn't something to romanticize," Frances wrote. "I'll never know my father because he died young and it becomes a desirable feat because people like you think it's 'cool'. Well, it's f--king not. Embrace life, because you only get one life."

Cobain's daughter later sent out a tweet claiming she wasn't personally attacking Del Rey, but wanted to state how she felt about her father's early death. The singer then sent a response to Frances claiming she was misquoted by the interviewer.

"It's all good. He was asking me a lot a out your dad I said I liked him because he was talented not because he died young," Del Rey wrote. "The other half of what I said wasn't really related to the people he mentioned. I don't find that part of music glam either."

BBC reports Del Rey tweeted, then quickly deleted, she believed The Guardian journalist who interviewed her may have had a personal agenda behind the questions he asked her.

"I regret trusting the guardian- I didn't want to do an interview but the journalist was persistent," Del Rey wrote, according to BBC. "Alexis [Petridis, the newspaper's music critic] was masked as a fan but was hiding sinister ambitions and angles Maybe he's actually the boring one looking for something interesting to write about...His leading questions about death and persona were calculated."
