Dr. Martens had published an advertisement that depicted the late Nirvana singer dressed as an angel and wearing Dr. Martens.
David Suddens, the company’s president, expressed his remorse to Love on Thursday, and all of the ads have been pulled.
In an interview with People magazine, Suddens said, "We are really, really, really sorry. We do think that it is offensive. We made a mistake. My message to Courtney Love is: This is something we shouldn’t have been doing."
The advertisements showing Cobain had only been shown in the United Kingdom. Suddens added that he had never even seen the ads before they were released.
