Speaking with Rolling Stone, Farrell says that he crossed paths with Cobain a few times over the years. “I met him briefly. I must admit, I got high with him in the basement of the Palace when he came to Los Angeles, and I hung out with him at one of the MTV Awards shows,” recalled Farrell. “We had a mutual respect.”
He added, “I think the cat had the right idea, he had the right attitude. Except for one thing — I love life. You have to kill me. I will never kill myself. That’s the only difference.”
