Rock star Courtney Love has decided to stop using her stage name, claiming “Courtney Love is dead.”

“We’ve all decided we don’t like her any more,” the Hole singer told The NME magazine.

“We love her when she goes onstage, but I don’t need her in the rest of my life,” she added.

Asked how she would prefer to be addressed in the future, the star replied: “Courtney Michelle. The name Courtney Love is a way to oppress me.”

The singer and actress was born Courtney Michelle Harrison.

She also told the NME she was “sick” of answering questions about her marriage to Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.

“I am not his spokesperson on Earth,” she said.

“I don’t know what he’d be like now, he could be into society girls, he could be into fat girls, he could be homosexual. We don’t know, he died at 27.”
