"I remember when he got sick in Rome — I didn’t realise then that it was actually a suicide attempt — I was in Seattle. I went out to grab something to eat and I saw the headlines. That he was in a coma. I just freaked out, man. I went home and made some phone calls, tried to find out what the fuck was going on. Then I started pacing the house and started to cry. I just kept saying, ‘Don’t go, man, just don’t fuckin’ go…. just don’t go.’ I kept thinking, ‘If he goes, I’m fucked.’"
— Eddie Vedder on Kurt Cobain, 1994 (via aboutason)
