Except weird lawsuits and the sad passing of Charlie Watts.” (As an added flourish, Love separated “weird” and “lawsuits” with a facepalm, sparkle and pizza emoji.)Įlden was four months old at the time he appeared on the Nevermind cover, with the photograph taken at a pool in Pasadena, California. Courtney Love did seem to nod to the lawsuit in an Instagram post, writing in a caption, “I don’t even hate the legal profession in LA county… I’ve got nothing much on my mind. The defendants and their representatives did not immediately return Rolling Stone’s request for comment. Elden is seeking $150,000 damages from each defendant, plus other legal costs. Nirvana’s former drummer Chad Channing is also listed as a defendant, even though he was not involved in Nevermind. The defendants in the case include the two surviving members of Nirvana, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic, the three people who oversee Kurt Cobain’s estate (Courtney Love, Guy Oseary, and Heather Parry), photographer Kirk Weddle, art director Robert Fisher, and various record companies and distributors. Spencer Elden, now 30, claimed in a suit that the defendants involved “knowingly produced, possessed, and advertised commercial child pornography,” that they “failed to take reasonable steps to protect Spencer and prevent his widespread sexual exploitation,” that they’ve continued “to benefit from their participation in Spencer’s commercial sexual exploitation,” and that Spencer “has suffered and will continue to suffer lifelong damages.” Banned in the U.S.A.: 20 Wildest Censored Album Covers More from Rolling Stone Fender to Sell Replica Kurt Cobain Jag-Stang Guitar to Celebrate 30 Years of 'Nevermind'ĭave Grohl on Foo Fighters' Rock Hall Induction: 'None of Us Imagined This Would Happen'įBI Releases Long-Withheld File on Kurt Cobain
