reorganize the group’s songwriting royalties

Citing exhaustion, Nirvana did not undertake another American tour in support of Nevermind , and made only a handful of performances later that year. In March 1992, Cobain sought to reorganize the group’s songwriting royalties (which to this point had been split equally) to better represent that he wrote the majority of the music. Grohl and Novoselic did not object, but when Cobain wanted the agreement to be retroactive to the release of Nevermind , the disagreements came close to breaking up the band. After a week of tension, Cobain received a retroactive share of 75 percent of the royalties. Bad feelings about the situation remained within the group afterward.
