Courtney Love has fallen out of love with rock 'n' roll, it would seem.
The singer realised that she had to walk away from the genre that shot her to stardom whilst on stage in Australia last year, when she felt dismayed whilst performing her old tracks.
Speaking of the gig, she explained: "I got to that part where I'm looking down at the set list going, 'Really, 'Malibu' next? Are we halfway done yet?' And when that happens in rock 'n' roll, it's like, 'OK, I've got to look at something else. Because I'm not loving this. I'm not in the moment. Forget persona, forget who is new and who is old, your mojo is your mojo."
After deciding to turn her back on rock, she was inspired to try new things which led to her eventually landing a role in Todd Almond's pop opera Kansas City Choir Boy.
The musician insists the show has given her a new lease of life, because it's an all new challenge for her, opening in New York at the Prototype Festival on Thursday, January 8.
Courtney's hoping she and Todd can travel to other cities with the production if it's well received.
"It's baptism by fire, but I'm going to hang in and give it my best ... I've never done musical theatre - I really wanted to do theatre, but probably I'm not ready to do a play quite yet. Fortuitously, Todd wrote this thing eight years ago, and I met him and I fell in love with it ... It's like putting out a single. If it gets catchy, then we do it in London or something. If it doesn't, it doesn't. We think it's really catchy and fabulous."
