The president of the Dr. Marten shoe company has apologised to Kurt Cobain's widow Courtney Love for depicting her late husband in an advert. Dr. Martens released an advertisement that depicted the late Nirvana singer dressed as an angel and wearing Dr. Martens. David Suddens, the company's president, has since apologised to Love and pulled the ads. In an interview with People magazine, Suddens said, "We are really, really, really sorry. We do think that it is offensive. We made a mistake. My message to Courtney Love is: This is something we shouldn't have been doing." The advertisements showing Cobain had only been shown in the UK. Suddens said he had not seen them before they were released.
