Wild rocker Courtney Love has hit back at claims she made comments about Amy Winehouse's drug habit.
American news websites had quoted the former Hole frontwoman as saying Amy's drug habit had shocked her.
The pair had met while the 23-year-old former Brit School student toured the US.
But Kurt Cobain's widow reportedly called the NME to tell them the claims were rubbish.
Love told the NME: "I said no such thing. I care deeply about her talent, I love this record tons, but I wouldn't comment even if I did have any knowledge. She hasn't hurt anyone I care for and she hasn't hurt me. My deepest apologies to anyone who believes this nonsense, that I would judge or fingerpoint unless I felt that (many) people's lives were on the line."
She added that she had unlimited admiration for Amy.
