LOVE'S LUNCHBOX ANGERS COBAIN FANS
COURTNEY LOVE has angered KURT COBAIN fans after selling her late husband's image to lunchbox manufacturers.
The Nirvana legend's face and signature now adorn a lunchbox, lighter, flask, figurine and dog tag created by the U.S. National Entertainment Collectables Association (NECA). Cobain's figurine comes with his Fender Mustang guitar and he wears the trademark striped shirt he wore in the Smells Like Teen Spirit video, before his suicide in 1994.
Infuriated Cobain fans have launched an attack on Love, writing on fan sites, "You are a disgrace Courtney, you plastic faced freak. I'm sure Kurt would be pleased he is on lunchboxes."
Others are branding her a hypocrite after she objected to a Dr Martens footwear commercial featuring an image of Cobain in heaven alongside the caption 'Dr. Martens Forever'.
Love recently sold a 25 per cent stake in her husband's song catalogue for $50 million (GBP25 million).
