Love: 'Daughter was strength after Kurt'

Courtney Love has revealed that her daughter gave her strength following the death of her husband Kurt Cobain.

The Hole singer was talking at the Oxford Union debating chamber a day after a Los Angeles judge extended the custody order restricting her access to 17-year-old Frances Bean.

According to The Mirror, Love told 300 students: "What gave me strength was my daughter's life force. My daughter's the most important thing to me, in my life."

The devastating toll that Cobain's suicide took on her life was reportedly one of the most moving parts in the hour-long question and answer session. Love revealed that no-one offered her counselling following the death, adding that, as a Buddhist, chanting helped her through the hardest days.
