“A shot of my friend Thor with his best. Kurt ten days prior to his murder. I’m in the midst of finding out more about this photo, which very well may be the last picture taken of Kurt before his death. Thor had a label that released the Burroughs/Cobain 10inch along with numerous other nirvana records and side projects and is a solid individual. ya, thou. #nirvana #kurtcobain .11liamburroughs”
He later posted a color version of the photo and gave a bit more of an explanation promising more info:
“Thor and I are In Portland. I’ll have more specs on this photo next I see him. He’s assured me it was taken ten days prior to Kurt death. Thor was close with Kurt for around six years and had a label that released albums and comps by and with nirvana, sonic youth. etc. So again. I’ll get as much background as possible soon, everyone. XO, Christopher”
