Cobain Dispute Settled

The long-running dispute between the widow of Kurt Cobain and the remaining two members of his band Nirvana finally came to an end yesterday when the three parties involved announced a legal settlement that paves the way for a new CD.

Courtney Love, Cobain's widow, granted Universal Music Group permission to release new Nirvana records featuring previously unreleased songs and compilations of the group's old hits.

She also agreed with Nirvana co-founders Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic a deal that will see the re lease of a new CD featuring You Know You're Right, the last recording Cobain made with Grohl and Novoselic before his death.

She had previously blocked release of a boxed set of Nirvana's hits which was intended to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the release of the group's seminal album Nevermind.

Cobain was lead singer of the band before he committed suicide in 1994.

Universal will release the as-yet-unnamed CD on November 12, along with a music video for You Know You're Right.

The three said several new Nirvana releases will come out "over the next few years".
