Courtney Love has revealed that a Kurt Cobain musical is “very likely” to happen in the near future.

She spoke to NME as it approaches the 20th anniversary of the Nirvana front man’s death and revealed that she would give her backing to the project as long as the right people were involved.

"After being swarmed by tons of Nirvana fanmail and social media posts pushing for a musical to become a reality, both Frances and I have thought long and hard and agreed that if we can reach up to the highest shelf and select a team of the greatest and most respected writers, producers and directors, then a Broadway musical is very likely to happen."

Love implied that she would have creative control of the project were it to go ahead.

"There would have to be a story, and a great story, one that hasn't been told before," she said.

"I would devote countless hours with an A-team to create a project that reflects Kurt in the most respectful but honest way possible, so that his story, his music and his legacy can be resurrected on stage for not only the world to see, but more importantly for our daughter to see.

"I know her father's spirit will be on that stage, and sitting in that theatre with her will be the most emotional experience of our lives."
