Courtney Love has claimed that Smashing Pumpkins stopped making hits because frontman Billy Corgan stopped writing songs about her.
The Hole singer briefly dated Corgan before marrying Nirvana's Kurt Cobain, and now says that many of the songs on the band's 1993 album Siamese Dream are about her.
Speaking to BBC 6 Music, Love said: "So many of them are about me. 'Siamese Dream', 'Bodies', 'Today'... He stopped writing about me and then he stopped making hits."

She added: 'Where Boys Fear To Tread' was about me and Trent [Reznor, Nine Inch Nails] and how mad he was about that. There's one on Siamese Dream called 'Spaceboy' - that's about his brother, but the rest are all pretty much about me."
Meanwhile, Love is set to appear in an experimental opera called Kansas City Choir Boy, which will premiere in New York in January.
