During one of his final interview with Rolling Stone back in 2021, Lanegan discussed his relationship with the acclaimed frontman of Nirvana Kurt Cobain. Credit to the outlet for the following.

Kurt and I were really close before he became famous. I was actually the famous one in our relationship for a number of years [laughs]. He had a natural [talent]. I knew that from the moment I saw him singing in the Ellensburg Public Library, in the tiny town I grew up in. Dylan Carlson [guitarist for Earth and a mutual friend of the two] had asked me to go see his friend Kurt’s band play there because [Kurt] was a fan of mine. And that’s how I met Kurt: as a fan of mine. He looked up to me sort of like a big brother. But I knew this guy had something magical. It took a while, but obviously,the world recognized his talent at some point, and we all know what happened with that.
