Love is... planning to sell Cobain’s flannel shirts in Christie’s auction

COURTNEY LOVE, widow of Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain, says she plans to sell most of his belongings.

Love is... planning to sell Cobain’s flannel shirts in Christie’s auction

“I’m going to have a Christie’s auction,” Love, 42, told AOL music website Spinner.com. “My house is like a mausoleum.”

Love and Cobain wed in 1992 and had a daughter, Frances Bean, that year.

Cobain committed suicide in 1994.

“My daughter doesn’t need to inherit a giant... bag full of flannel... shirts,” said Love, former frontwoman of the rock band Hole. “A sweater, a guitar and the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit — that’s what my daughter gets. And the rest of it we’ll just... sell.”

No date has been set for the auction, AOL publicist Kurt Patat said yesterday.

Love, whose upcoming album is titled, Nobody’s Daughter, says friends support the idea. “Everyone’s been positive and behind me on it,” she said. “We’ll make a lot of money and give a bunch of it to charity.”

She will have a chance to move on from Cobain, too.

“I still wear his pajamas to bed. How am I ever going to go form another relationship in my lifetime wearing Kurt’s pajamas?”
