After first announcing the cancellation of 10 of her 21 summer shows, Courtney Love has now pulled the plug on her entire lineup of June and July concerts in order to focus on her mounting legal troubles.
The rocker "has chosen to take this time to privately address the frivolous, malicious complaints and legal matters that have plagued her this spring," publicist Heidi Schaeffer said in a statement.
Love, 39, was due to tour with her new band The Chelsea in support of her latest album America's Sweetheart. Instead, Schaeffer tells the Associated Press, the former Hole singer will join the band Aug. 1 in Japan, where they will headline the Fuji Festival.
Last Friday, Love surrendered to Los Angeles police after an arrest warrant was issued earlier in the week. She was booked on a felony charge of assault with a deadly weapon – for an alleged run-in with a female friend of Love's ex-boyfriend and producer, Jim Barber – and released on $55,000 bail.
Love also has been charged in three other cases, including two stemming from encounters with police on the same night last October, also at Barber's house.
Last month, Love pleaded guilty to having cocaine and other opiates in her system at the time of her October arrest, and agreed to enter a drug rehab program instead of receiving jail time.
She also faces felony drug charges for the alleged illegal possession of prescription painkillers, and was arraigned earlier this month in Manhattan on charges of assault and reckless endangerment for allegedly striking a club patron with a microphone stand.
