Rocker Love gets 18 months in drug rehab

US ROCKER Courtney Love was yesterday sentenced to 18 months’ drug rehabilitation. The sentence closes a chapter in a saga that began when she was accused of trying to break into her ex-boyfriend’s home while high on cocaine.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg gave Ms Love until October 29 to enrol in a drug counselling programme, which will require frequent drug testing. She will be permitted to travel, but will be barred from taking non-prescription drugs, drinking alcohol or being in places that serve alcohol.

“I have to stop drinking. That’s funny,” Ms Love said outside court, lighting up a cigarette.
