Courtney Love is set to auction off Kurt Cobain’s belongings.

The former Hole frontwoman is planning to sell the Nirvana frontman’s belonging at auction house Christie’s.

Love said: “I’m going to have a Christie’s auction. (My house) is like a mausoleum. My daughter doesn’t need to inherit a giant hefty bag full of flannel fucking shirts... A sweater, a guitar and the lyrics to ’Teen Spirit’ - that’s what my daughter gets. And the rest of it we’ll just fucking sell.

“We’ll make a lot of money and give a bunch of it to charity.”

Explaining that Cobain was still a dominant influence in Love's life, she said: “I still wear his pyjamas to bed. How am I ever going to form another relationship in my lifetime wearing Kurt’s pyjamas?”

Love also said that her new album would be called ’Nobody’s Daughter’.

Explaining the title, she said: “I think the title just says it all. I’m not pouting. I’m not playing anything up. I don’t have parents that I acknowledge. I’m nobody’s daughter. I’m nobody’s wife. I’m nobody’s bitch.

“I’m nobody’s daughter. I’m nobody’s widow. I’m somebody’s mother. Other than that, I don’t identify with these other female roles I’m supposed to have.”

No release date for the album has been announced, reports Spinner.
