Dave Grohl says new song may be about Courtney Love

Dave Grohl has told The Guardian that the lyric about a blushing bride on Let It Die may refer to Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain.

It's been assumed that Dave Grohl has alluded to Courtney Love in his songs before, normally whenever an unnamed female is seemingly dissed, but now the former Nirvana drummer has actually admitted there's a Love reference on one of the tracks on his new album 'Echoes, Silence, Patience And Grace'. Well, sort of.

He's told the Guardian that the track 'Let It Die' "may" have been written about Love's relationship with Kurt Cobain. In particular, the lyrics: "A simple man and his blushing bride/intravenous, intertwined" - which Grohl admits are probably about the couple. He adds that, given just how angry he gets about Courtney sometimes, it's inevitable she'll appear in his lyrics, even if he doesn't intend her to be there.
