Courtney Love caused the deaths of two of her daughter's pets, according to newly published details from Frances Bean's deposition in a restraining order she sought against her mother in 2009.

According to the deposition, a cat died after it became entangled in piles of fabric, papers and trash, and one of Frances Bean's dogs died after ingesting some of Love's prescription medication.

The details were made public by The Fix, an addiction and recovery resource that kept a running conversation for nearly a year with Love, which has been compiled in a new e-book called Courtney Comes Clean.

“The A Team”

Ed Sheeran | 2011

This debut track from the then-20-year-old British singer-songwriter has a dark story behind it. Sheeran says he culls songwriting inspiration from "viewing other people's situations," which, for the heroine in "The A Team," involves drug addiction and prostitution that began as a teen. Sheeran paints the woman's trials with haunting imagery such as "But lately her face seems/Slowly sinking, wasting/Crumbling like pastries." "I did a gig at a homeless shelter, [and the song] is about one of the women there. It's her story," he said.
