Courtney Loves Speaks Out on Her “Anorexia”
Though Courtney Love didn’t assault the crowd this time during her concert on Thursday, it appears that she’s up to her old tricks.
Looking emaciated and haggard, the Hole singer screeched through an hour-and-a-half long set of old and new material at Hiro in NYC.
She took the stage shortly after midnight and plowed through classics like “Celebrity Skin,” “Malibu,” “Miss World” and “Doll Parts” plus new cuts off her forthcoming album including “Stephanie” and “Pacific Coast Highway.”
The 43-year-old singer even poked fun at her skinny frame. “I requested Ensure shakes for my anorexia,” she said. “You’re going to have to wait for my eating disorder. It’s getting kinda spooky but the free clothes are great.”
Love, who completed a court-ordered drug rehabilitation program in 2005, also admitted during the show that she had been “sipping wine” before hitting the stage.
She played an acoustic set for the encore (including the anthemic Northern Star) wearing a revealing Marc Jacobs bustier ensemble, though she admitted she needed to “work on her butt.”
Love chainsmoked throughout the concert before a crowd that included hotelier Andre Balazs, the Misshapes and Heatherette designers Richie Rich and Traver Rains.
She looks awful!!!
