COURTNEY LOVE has been offered a staggering $162 million (=C2=A3108 milli on) for her majority stake in NIRVANA’s back catalogue.
The Hole frontwoman inherited the band’s publishing rights when her hus band and Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain committed suicide in 1994.
She sold off 25 per cent of the End of Music catalogue in 2006, pocketi ng $50 million (=C2=A333.35 million), but Love recently admitted she was considering offloading her remaining 75 per cent share after becoming con vinced the royalty payments she receives are "cursed".
She insisted the decision was motivated by emotions, not financial gain , because she simply wants to move on from the Cobain tragedy.
She said, "I’m thinking about selling off all of Kurt’s publishing. All of the rights, everything. It’s not a financial decision; it’s an emotio nal one.
"He was the best friend I’ve ever had, but Kurt and I were only married for three years, and now I need to have my own life. I’m always ‘the wid ow’ and that drives me nuts. That money has been cursed since the day it started to come in. It’s not really my money." Executives at Evergreen Capital are keen to relieve Love of her worries and have stepped up with the big money offer, reports the New York Daily News.
A source says, "Courtney thinks the catalogue comes with too many memor ies. It’s haunted." Love has yet to respond to the offer.

Actor DENNIS QUAID is launching a negligence lawsuit against a healthcare company after his twins were given a potentially lethal dosage of medica tion in 2007.
The star claims Baxter Healthcare, which manufactures drug Heparin, is partly responsible for the hospital error, which left his children, Zoe a nd Thomas, fighting for their lives after they were administered 10,000 u nits of the medication, instead of 10.
In the documents Quaid alleges the twins’ damage "may be permanent in n ature" and is "likely to cause serious complications in the future".

Quaid is seeking medical expenses and punitive damages. He has also cal led on the healthcare company to create a fund to cover his twins’ future medical expenses.
The actor and his wife Kimberly agreed to a $750,000 (GBP500,000) settl ement with hospital bosses at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles in 2008 over the near-fatal mishap.
