COURTNEY LOVE - LOVE TO SELL NIRVANA BACK CATALOGUE

Troubled rocker COURTNEY LOVE is cashing-in on the legacy of her late husband KURT COBAIN by selling a 25 per cent share of the NIRVANA back catalogue. The former HOLE frontwoman currently receives a substantial amount in royalty payments from airplay and sales of Nirvana songs - including smash hits SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT and COME AS YOU ARE - after acquiring the rights following her husband's suicide in 1994. Love confirms, "Its not a fire sale or anything but I'm selling 25 per cent of the catalogue for quite a lot of money."
