I come home and there's a message on the answer phone.

Kurt Cobain has killed himself.

I met Danny Kelly, the editor of Q Magazine, on the Monday morning.

And it was like, what are we going to do?

We've got to be different.

We can't put out the same magazine.

We're both doing the same story.

Danny went with a kind of screaming picture of Kurt Cobain.

I think the cover was where Kurt Cobain had to die.

And it was like very much from the point of view of this is the terrible music your kids like, right?

You don't like this music.

You like the Beatles and Neil Young.

This is the grungy, druggy music that your kids like.

We went, and Simon Vinyl, the picture editor, he was a brilliant guy, hammered the phones

again, no internet, to get those incredible pictures of the vigil in Seattle, you know, loads and loads of pictures.

And what we went on, the grief of it, and the fact that this is your guy who's killed himself.

And our cover line was like, I hate myself and I want to die.

And we went with a lovely black and white picture of the Kurt that you're going to miss.

It was like, it was Princess Diana for our lot.

It was a life-defining, changing thing.
