Courtney Love has been ordered by her doctor to quit smoking, following the discovery of nodules in her throat.

The former Hole frontwoman will now have to undergo surgery in the next 12 months unless she gives up cigarettes.

Love recently lost 52 pounds and is worried she will pile the weight back on if she quits smoking.

The 42-year-old writes on her website: "He (the doctor) guessed exactly how much I smoke too and told me I'll have to get surgery.

"I need to stop unless ... I want surgery in a year, and two or three days off on tour is not economically feasible, so my thin phase is gonna go soon."
