SHOE BOSS APOLOGISES TO LOVE FOR OFFENSIVE AD

LATEST: The boss of footwear giant Dr. Martens has apologised to COURTNEY LOVE for featuring her late husband KURT COBAIN and other dead rockers in an advertisement.

KURT COBAIN

David Suddens is unreservedly sorry for the campaign, which only appeared in the U.K. and showed the Nirvana legend sitting on a cloud wearing an angelic robe alongside the caption 'Dr. Martens. Forever'.

He tells website People.com, "We do think that it is offensive. We made a mistake. My message to Courtney Love is this is something we shouldn't have been doing."

Earlier this week (begs21May07), a spokesperson for Love said, "Courtney did not, and would not, approve of such a use of Kurt's name and likeness."

Cobain killed himself with a shotgun at his Seattle, Washington home in 1994.

Other late rock stars featured in the campaign included Sex Pistol Sid Vicious and Joey Ramone from The Ramones.
