Courtney Love’s manager has denied stories doing the rounds about the singer’s behaviour at the funeral of Joe Strummer last week. Love knew the Clash frontman after they both worked on the 1987 film 'Straight To Hell'. Rumour had it she caused a scene when initially refused admission to the private crematorium, and then she horrified Strummer’s family and friends by "throwing herself on the coffin".
But manager Jim Barber described the stories as being "definitely crap", pointing out reports were based on the quotes of unnamed witnesses. Barber also denied rumours Love is set to appear alongside Sean Bean in the West End production of Macbeth.
