Over the years Soulfly, etc. frontman Max Cavalera‘s wife/manager Gloria Cavalera has been sharing stories from their life together via Gloriacavalera.com. The latest entry she shared includes a tale of late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain apparently calling Max to ask if knew where to score some heroin in Brazil back in the day. An excerpt of that reads as follows:
“If I remember correctly, it came in shortly after Max and I got home from the Ministry/Helmet/Sepultura tour. I was super pregnant and laying on the couch. Briiiiiing…..the phone rings and Max answers…
Max was surprised to hear Kurt Cobain on the other end of the phone line. He had gotten our phone number from someone in Brazil. He explained that he was in Brazil, playing a big festival. He was looking for heroin and wondered if Max knew where he could get some. Max was pretty surprised and didn’t really know how to answer! “No, I don’t know how to get anything like that, and I am in America!” Max said. Kurt kept the conversation going for a bit and then switched the topic to pregnant wives!
Kurt said he had heard that we were expecting a child. He said he hoped I would have an easier time than Courtney had, in labor. He sent me some good wishes and went on his way.”
