Last week, the former Guns N’ Roses bassist/current member of Velvet Revolver and Loaded appeared at Seattle University for a book signing of his new autobiography, It’s So Easy and Other Lies. As the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported, that’s when McKagan got a question about whether Kurt Cobain seemed depressed before his 1994 suicide.
(Days before the suicide, McKagan shared a Seattle-bound flight with Cobain, who had just left a rehab center in Southern California.
