TROUBLED star Courtney Love was spotted hitting the clubs in Los Angeles recently - despite supposedly being in a detox centre, reports IMDB.com.
The ex-Hole rocker first went to club Tangiers in Los Feliz to see the band The Hard Place, whom some have compared to Love's late husband Kurt Cobain's group Nirvana.
The outspoken singer and actress was reportedly overheard saying, ``So, this band sounds like Nirvana, huh? They wish!"
Love then moved on to the nearby Derby club, and was invited onstage by Let's Go Sailing singer Shana Levy - who was delighted when Love took up her offer.
Levy reveals: ``Love said, `I really need to have sex tonight, but I always have time for a chick band.' So we taught her a song of ours on the fly and she sang and played guitar with us.
``It was just insane. She was really approachable, really nice, really considerate. We were totally surprised."
Love then made a dramatic exit, reportedly shouting to the driver of her white van, ``You gotta get me back to rehab!"
Her lawyer Ron Fischetti had told MTV News she was undergoing live-in detox care at a facility in Malibu. Love is awaiting trial on drug charges after being arrested last October and overdosing on prescription pills shortly afterward.
