From the Muppets to a CBS sitcom, it seems like the late Kurt Cobain’s likeness is everywhere. Thankfully, the Nirvana front man won’t grace the Broadway stage.

Last month, Sam Lufti, Britney Spears’ former manager, announced that he and Courtney Love were developing a musical based on Cobain’s life. However, Love vehemently denounced Lufti’s statement, telling The Observer that her late husband’s memory should be left alone.

I never thought that I would say this, but I completely agree with Courtney Love.

The image of a Broadway ensemble singing and dancing to “Heart Shaped Box” and “About A Girl” is frightening. Bad covers of Nirvana’s hits are nothing new, most recently with Miley Cyrus’s botched rendition of “Smells Like Teen Spirit.”

What I find most troubling about a Kurt Cobain musical is that it would breach musician’s family’s privacy. Ever since Cobain’s 1994 suicide, both Courtney Love and Francis Bean Cobain, the couple’s daughter, have been scrutinized by the press.

Ever since Francis Cobain emancipated herself from her mother when she was 17, the two shared a tumultuous relationship. From Love claiming that Nirvana member hit on Francis Cobain to twitter fights between the two, their relationship has fueled chatter for years.

This is a huge amount of responsibility for someone who recently became an adult. Because of her rough childhood and rocky relationship with Love, Francis Cobain had to grow up quickly, while her relationship with her mother was fodder for every gossip column.

Lufti should realize that the Cobain family has dealt with constant scrutiny for almost 20 years. A musical that details Cobain’s life would present the tragic details of a troubled young man in a gaudy format.

A musical about Cobain would completely strip him of his image as a father, husband and great musician. Instead, his legacy would turn into something that any fame-hungry manager can turn into an instant hit about a troubled rock star.

Cobain’s story should be more than something that America can sing and dance to on the Broadway stage. Exploiting the Cobain family’s troubling story would be an insult to Nirvana’s legacy.

Kurt Cobain the musical would bring unnecessary attention to the troubled Cobain family. Love and Francis Cobain should have the right to remember a husband and father without the media hounding them over an ill-advised musical.
