“ATTENTION! NEW DATES!” “Tickets remain valid! Remaining tickets on sale!”“Kurt said he was canceling the rest of the shows because he had laryngitis. While we’re still in Europe, they’re reporting that Kurt Cobain ODs. Accidental overdose. Took a bunch of pills. But the shows were getting rebooked. They were advertising it on TV over there! On MTV! We even saw posters about them being rebooked. And we’re just thinking, That’s really weird. Those shows are already getting rebooked after this guy basically tried to kill himself. What the fuck’s going on?”—Dale Crover of Nirvana tourmates the Melvins, from Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History of Grunge
