Courtney in Hospital Again

Singer re-admitted to New York hospital Tuesday

July 14, 2004 12:00 AM ET
Just days after being released from New York's Bellevue Hospital, Courtney Love was admitted to another private hospital in the city yesterday, according to Reuters.

No further information regarding Love's condition or her whereabouts was available.

The troubled rocker was hospitalized on Friday after suffering a "gynecological medical condition," according to her attorney. Emergency Medical Service workers answered a 911 call from her apartment. Love was handcuffed to a stretcher and taken to Bellevue. A statement from one of her attorneys said that the incident was "unrelated to any type of substance use or abuse."

Earlier that day, a Los Angeles judge issued a bench warrant for Love's arrest after she failed to show up for an arraignment on assault charges stemming from an April 25th incident in which Love allegedly attacked a woman with a bottle and flashlight.

“Tonight's the Night”

The Shirelles | 1960

The lead cut and title track from this girl group's debut album, "Tonight's the Night" was written by 19-year-old bandmember Shirley Owens, who sings lead, and producer Luther Dixon. The band from Passaic, New Jersey met in high school, first calling themselves the Pequellos. The song's frank thoughts about sexual and emotional surrender was racy for the time, but that didn't stop the Chiffons from cutting a similar version immediately after the original came out. "We were the first female group to write some of our own material," band member Beverly Lee recalls. "We did have some say-so in our writing."
