LOS ANGELES (Courtney Fans Website) - Singer Courtney Love has been sentenced to 18 months in drug rehabilitation. Love was arrested in October after she allegedly tried to break into the home of former manager and boyfriend Jim Barber. Authorities said cocaine and other opiates were found in her system. A Superior Court Judge gave the rocker until October 29 to enrol in a drug counselling program, which will require frequent drug testing. She will be permitted to travel, but will be barred from taking non-prescription drugs, drinking alcohol or being in places that serve alcohol. Love is the former lead singer of the band Hole. She and her new band, The Chelsea, were scheduled to start a tour last month to support Love's recent album America's Sweetheart, but Love delayed the tour amid her legal troubles.
