Courtney Love: I'd kill Kurt

Los Angeles - Courtney Love "would kill" Kurt Cobain if he were still alive.

The Hole frontwoman admits she is still "mad" with her late husband - who committed suicide in 1994 when their daughter Frances Bean was just 20 months old - for his multiple attempts to end his life and battle with heroin addiction.

Asked if she is angry with Kurt for killing himself, Courtney told Vanity Fair magazine: "Mad? Ya think?! If he came back right now I'd have to kill him, for what he did to us. I'd fucking kill him. I'd fuck him, and then I'd kill him.

"He tried to kill himself three times. He OD'd at least five times. I was the fucking E.M.S.(Emergency Medical Services) I was always sticking pins in his balls. I carried around Narcan (a drug used to revive heroin users)."

Courtney - who has been estranged from Frances since 2009 - has repeatedly claimed she has been defrauded out of much of Kurt's money, but has also now insisted her financial problems began long before the rocker's death.

She said: "We could never find our money. We had $135 000 in our bank account. They said that if he would go do Lollapalooza he would make $11m. Do you think Kurt would have killed himself if he had known he had $54m?"
