An Australian artist wants to smoke the stolen ashes of Kurt Cobain as part of an exhibition she claims will set the late Nirvana singer "free".
The website of music magazine NME reported Natascha Stellmach claimed she would smoke the ashes in a joint to end her Set Me Free exhibition at Berlin's Wagner + Partner museum.
It is scheduled to take place on October 11.
In a statement, Stellmech claimed she had "acquired" the ashes, but wouldn't elaborate on how.
She said smoking them would symbolically set Cobain "free" from the media circus.
"(It's) kind of magic. They came to me. And I am setting him free," she told Artworld magazine.
The ashes went missing during a burglary at Courtney Love's home in May.
