Courtney Love is writing a tell-all autobiography.

The Hole singer and widow of late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain hopes to "set the record straight" in the book, which is expected to cover her life as an aspiring musician, her marriage and drug problems, her attempted Hollywood career and the fortune of the Nirvana estate she claims to have been defrauded out of.

Details of what Courtney – who has one daughter, 19-year-old Frances Bean, with Kurt - intends to write are scarce at present, but she is known for her self-belief and being extremely opinionated, direct and forthright in her interviews and writing.
