Courtney Love denies saying Amy Winehouse takes more drugs than anyone

Courtney Love has told NME she did not say Amy Winehouse had taken more drugs than anyone in the music industry, and says she cares about her talent.

Talking of clarifications, Courtney Love has denied 'dissing' Amy Winehouse, as was widely reported last week. Sources supposedly supplying quotes from the Love camp claimed that Love had said that Winehouse had "taken more drugs than anyone in the music industry", a comment that Love has since moved to deny.

In an interview with the NME, Love protested her innocence, saying: "I said no such thing. I care deeply about her talent, I love this record tonnes, 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 finger-point unless I felt that [many] people's lives were on the line".

So, take note everyone.
