Courtney Love Attacks Dave Grohl Following Brazil Stage Outburst

American rock singer-songwriter Courtney Love has followed up her crazed outburst while on stage in Brazil by slamming Foo Fighter frontman Dave Grohl in an interview, accusing him of ‘taking money off my kids table’.

Love stormed off stage earlier in the week after a fan in the crowd of one of her shows in Brazil held up a picture of her deceased ex-husband Kurt Cobain, after screaming to the fan that she had to ‘live with his shit and his ghost’. She only returned to the stage after her bandmates managed to goad the crowd into singing ‘The Foo Fighters are gay’, to which she responded: “I don't care what you listen to at home, but if a guy takes off money off my kid's table, fuck him,” – in relation to Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl.

Then, in an interview recorded after the show had finished, she continued to attack Grohl, saying: “I wasn't in Nirvana, However, I do own Nirvana, with my daughter, and because of tax laws I have to give money to his sister, Kim Cobain, and [Kurt's mother] Wendy Cobain.”

She continued: “Dave makes $5 million a show, he doesn't need the money – so why the fuck does he have a Nirvana Inc. credit card and I don't? And last week, he bought an Aston Martin on it.

“He didn’t write one fucking note; he didn't even write the drum riff for 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'. Kurt owns 100% of that publishing.

“Forget me, I make tons of money – my daughter and Kim Cobain, Wendy Cobain and [Kurt's half-sister] Brianne Cobain is what I care about.”

The full video of the interview is embedded below.
