Lana Del Rey responds to Frances Bean over 'I wish I was dead' comment

After his daughter Frances Bean Cobain hit out at Lana Del Rey for glamourising Kurt Cobain's death in a recent interview, Del Rey has now clarified her comments, saying she likes Cobain for his talents - not because he died young.

Frances Bean took to Twitter at the weekend to scold Del Rey for her controversial comments in an interview with The Guardian, in which she said: "I wish I was dead already" and namechecked Kurt.

"@LanaDelRey the death of young musicians isn't something to romanticize," wrote Frances Bean. "I'll never know my father because he died young & it becomes a desirable feat because ppl like u think it's 'cool'". 

Del Rey has now responded to Frances Bean's comments, and it seems she's trying to play the whole thing down. "I didn't find that part of music glam either," she wrote, referring to dying young.  

@alka_seltzer666 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-

@alka_seltzer666 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

Bean is yet to respond to Del Rey. The comments the 'West Coast' singer made in The Guardian were later refuted by the star, who suggested her words were twisted by the interviewer and that he was "hiding sinister ambitions".

Del Rey's latest album, Ultraviolence, topped the UK charts on Sunday.
