Courtney Love and Pete Doherty have sparked romance rumours after the pair shared a kiss when Love visited him in rehab.
The former Hole singer, a former drug addict, went to see the Babyshambles star at the Wiltshire clinic where he is battling to get clean.
Pete was allowed to leave the grounds with Courtney and the pair shared a kiss after a budget meal at a British pub chain.
A source said: "Pete respects Courtney for the struggle she's faced, one that, like his, seemed insurmountable.
"He's turning a corner now. And having support from one of rock's greatest survivors is a great help and inspiration for him. They had a brilliant talk.
"It was touching to see them share a tender kiss after the visit.
"They share a common bond as both are musicians with a self-destructive streak."
Despite his budding relationship, Pete - who checked into rehab 28 days ago - is said to be distraught ex-girlfriend Kate Moss has a new lover.
The supermodel began dating The Kills frontman Jamie Hince last month and pals say she is smitten with him.
Kate and Pete split in June after he reportedly spent the night with South African model Lindi Hingston. |
