Courtney Love has vowed to help Pete Doherty come off drugs.

The Hole singer fears the troubled rocker could end up like her former husband Kurt Cobain, whose heroin addiction is said to have contributed to his suicide in 1994.

The blonde - who has also battled drug problems - decided to help the Babyshambles frontman after chatting with his former Libertines bandmate Carl Barat at a concert in London.

A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Courtney is finally in a position to help others who suffered like her. She sees herself in him and doesn't want him to end up like Kurt. She knows that in most cases an addict will only take advice from someone who has been through the same drug hell."
