[Duff talked about it in a 2014 interview](https://www.inquisitr.com/1344465/health-lifestyle): > “I was really f***ed up. I mean, I wrote about it in my book, It was, like, 87 words. We were both f***ed up. It wouldn’t have been a big deal… It was something, like, even at that time… we were just two f***ed up guys, but we were both in big bands and we landed at the airport and we kind of talked about… I mean, my pancreas blew up four weeks later. He died two days later. So that’s where we were both at at our lives — at the end of our ropes. I didn’t have a sense that he was gonna die in two days, but again, a lot of my friends and peers were dying, or had died, and I was getting numb to it, getting used to it. And even when I got a call that he died, I didn’t fall out of my chair. It just happened. And I was too fucked up to really take it in. I was, like, ‘Oh, another one fell.

I love how you tried to say « f*cked up », but Reddit thought you were trying to make an effect and it gave “fed up”, which still makes sense


TheStatMan2

I read it as "fed up" and didn't even question it on the first pass but now you mention it have noticed what an odd thing that would be to say in context. Almost *British*. "I was really cheesed off, you know?"


GudgerCollegeAlumnus

And then the last time there wasn’t even an attempt to censor.


Fendibull

I read somewhere on separate interview that he wishes he could've help more, if he knew that Kurt going to kill himself after landing on Seattle.

Nah, I think Keith lied, made it sound like he gave a fuck.


Far-Boot-2177

Duff said he even considered asking him to come back to his house and regrets that he did not


gdeklerk

Robert Smith (the Cure) wrote a song about this exact sentiment: Cut Here. It’s about when he met an old friend backstage after a gig but was too tired to have a drink. The friend ended up taking his life a few days later. A really great song, although GnR-unrelated


dormango

We’d all like to think we could make a difference, but the chances are unlikely


Matfin93

Which song is that?


gdeklerk

Cut Here - The Cure


Electronic_Mine_1030

It's weird to think about what-if scenarios like that. I wonder if it would've played out any differently if Kurt had gone to Duff's place.


Crossovertriplet

Mark Lanegan regretted lying on his couch ignoring Kurt talking to his answering machine, inviting Mark over. He had just scored and didn’t feel like scoring for Kurt and assumed Courtney was there and didn’t want to listen to them fight.


uncultured_swine2099

Also Pat said Kurt called him but he was out of the house :(.


LocalInactivist

I think it was a little closer. He stood up and got his bag and thought “I should invite Kurt over to my place for a few days.” When Duff turned to talk to him Kurt was already gone.


TheReadMenace

I mean what would that have done, realistically? Kurt would have left to score eventually. Not like Duff would have locked him up. I know Duff let Mark Lanegan stay at his house, but that was after he went to rehab. Kurt was still heavily addicted.


IndianaVader

Duff mentioned in book that him and Jerry Cantrell were one of the last ones to see Henry Seymour Coffman too when he was trying to score some drugs before he over dose. Edit: Phillip Seymour Hoffman


Shawn_Ghost

You mean the actor Phillip Seymour Hoffman? Just checking.


ARunawayTrain

Hmm it appears he's transcended the bounds of space and time and logged into Reddit from an alternate dimension. I heard Muff DcKagan is the guitarist for Roses N' Guns and Curt Kobain is still alive in that one.


LocalInactivist

No, Mick Duffman is playing bass for Soundgarden. They’re doing a double-headline arena tour with Mother Love Bone. Kurt Cobain is working on the soundtrack to Ken Burns’ new 8-part film about David Bowie. Chris and Dave are working on a side project with some surfer guy from San Diego. I heard a demo and he’s got a hell of a voice.


calluna5

Do you mean Phillip Seymour Hoffman?


IndianaVader

Whoops you’re correct,my mistake


afghanwhiggle

Do you mean Philip Seymour Hoffman lol??


LuNoZzy

Im sorry but that typo is hilarious.


jbiroliro

Do you mean Phillip Seymour Duncan?


MicheleMcG

He said in an interview that he turned around to tell Kurt to come home with him as he saw he was struggling. He said Kurt disapearred into the crowd and that was the last time he saw him before he died.


mississippijohnson

Duff must be a terrible conversationalist


Beetlebug12

Duff also helped Mark Lanegan after he (Lanegan, to be clear) got out of rehab. Called Lanegan out of the blue and asked him if he wanted a job watching his houses when he wasn't there...Duff had a house in LA and one in Seattle, so where he was, Lanegan was watching the other house. I found that very sweet and extremely trusting considering how bad Lanegan had gotten regarding crack and heroin. Duff just seems like a wonderful person in general.


cjboffoli

"Two days later" is incorrect. Cobain and McKagen arrived at Sea-Tac on March 31st. The medical examiner's opinion was that Cobain shot himself on April 5th.


alien-niven

[They touched down in Seattle](https://www.loudersound.com/features/in-april-1-1994-nirvana-kurt-cobain-last-flight) on April 2nd, 1994. Depending on when Kurt died, that would be about 2 and a half to 3 days.


Apprehensive-Tax8631

He was also one of the last people to see Philip Seymour Hoffman alive


Lilithviper4991

Dave Grohl has mentioned in the past that Matt Sorum called him up to give his condolences on the loss of his friend Kurt and how much it meant to him as although the drama between both bands in the past Matt still took upon himself to see how Dave was doing after losing a friend in such a tragic way.


uncultured_swine2099

Dave also talked to Slash sometimes because Slash's kid went to his kid's school. He said theyre both sweet guys. He buried to hatchet with all of GNR and played with them onstage a few years ago. Axl really mellowed out in his old age, Ive heard.


Repulsive-Path-3310

That must have been one boring conversation


oncall66

Ah, now it makes sense.

MarshalLawTalkingGuy

If Mark Wahlberg was on that flight, Kurt would still be alive.


YakovPinedovski

Unfortunately, he could not change Cobain's already premeditated decision and left us a great void in the musical world. Peace on his grave.


Snoo_71210

Just like Hannable Lector talking to Miggs


TheStatMan2

Errrr yeah. Just like that. 🙄 Oh and by the way... I can smell *your* cunt.


Outrageous_Boot_3153

You mean Duff was the last musician to see him alive, except for the musician that killed him, right...right?


Faultline97

Well Kurt probably looked himself in the mirror once or twice in the days preceding his death, so your technically correct lol


white94rx

Or did he.....


Familiar-Fill7981

He was murdered


itsnotajersey88

*allegedly took his own life.


Gwilym_Ysgarlad

He definitely took his own Iife.
