Courtney Love jokes about eating disorder

NEW YORK, July 14 (UPI) -- Rail-thin rocker Courtney Love confessed to an eating disorder this week and then immediately retracted her statement.

At a free concert in New York Thursday, Love joked about taking care of her eating disorder after pausing to take a drink of protein shake, People magazine reports.

Then she added, "I don't have an eating disorder."

Love has raised eyebrows recently with her sudden 52-pound weight loss that left her looking gaunt in the underwear and Marc Jacobs bustier she donned halfway through her one-hour set.

The show included new tracks from Love's upcoming album and old fan favorites like "Miss World."
