Former Hole singer Courtney Love was planning to surprise her daughter, Frances Bean, with her own house, just before the teen cut off all contact with her rock star mom. Love is admitting she was struggling to get along with Frances Bean, her only child with the late Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain, so she purchased a separate property nearby for the 17-year-old to live in by herself. Courtney had planned to give Francis the keys in December, but was dealt a blow when Frances Bean applied to the courts to be placed under the temporary guardianship of her paternal grandmother and aunt. Love was then handed a temporary restraining order forbidding her from getting in touch with the teenager, just days after losing legal control of her. She tells Clash magazine, “At Christmas time I bought her a house. And it took everything. I had to go to somebody else and get them to finance the house, because they’d frozen my account. And I was gonna blindfold her, put her in her house and go on the road, goodbye! That’s it. So, there’s no argument. “She wasn’t very happy living with me, that’s OK, she’s 17. Lenny Kravitz’s daughter has her own apartment at 16, it’s fine. As long as it’s around the corner from me and I can have some supervision, it’s fine.”
