The recently introduced smoking ban is not going down well with committed smoker Courtney Love.

The rocker, who tried out some of her new material at a gig in west London for an audience of competition winners and close friends, ranted about the new measure on stage.

Love said: "The only place I can smoke in England is the Houses of Parliament! That's so retarded!"

Love played 11 brand new songs, which are all expected to appear on her forthcoming album Nobody's Daughter, as well as a number of Hole classics.

Most of the songs are on the album were produced by the prolific musician Linda Perry of 4 Non Blondes fame.
