Courtney Love Loses Kurt Cobain Image Rights

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Legal Issues,

Courtney Love no longer has control of Kurt Cobain's image rights.

The Hole frontwoman agreed to hand over the rights to her late Nirvana singer husband's name, likeness and appearance to their daughter Frances Bean Cobain, 19, in 2010, documents obtained by website The Fix have revealed.

The documents show that Courtney agreed to step down as Acting Manager of End of Music (EOM) LLC - the business responsible for generating cash from the rocker's publicity rights - after she received a $2.75 million loan from her daughter's trust fund. The money was transferred to EOM and then put into an account in Courtney's then-attorney's name. Until the loan is paid back, Courtney won't receive any money from the deals related to Kurt that have been formed by Frances and her advisors since December 2010, which means she could lose out on a fortune.
