Courtney Love has been sued for $1 million over profits from her sale of Nirvana's back catalogue.

Accountants London & Co claimed that Love broke a verbal agreement to share 5% of her earnings from her company The End of Music.

The firm is claiming that Love owes them $975,000 (£489,277) after she sold a percentage of her rights to late husband Kurt Cobain's Nirvana back catalogue in 2006.

In the filing, London & Co has alleged that Love earned $19.5 million (£9.8 million) from her sale of Nirvana's song rights.

Love was given rights to Nirvana's music after frontman Cobain committed suicide in 1994.
