Courtney Love stepped in for rocker Vince Neil at a New York fashion week gig earlier this week after he fell sick and lost his voice.

The Motley Crue star was due to perform at the One Model Management 10th anniversary party at the Hiro Ballroom on Tuesday, ahead of the start of the fashion event, which officially begins on Thursday.

But Neil axed his slot just two days before the event, making way for Love to step in for the sick star with her band Hole.

Love dedicated song" Skinny Little B**ch" to her estranged daughter Frances Bean during the show, describing her as "my f**king only child", before adding, "I'm so glad she didn't get that nose job."

Love's daughter with late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain has been under the guardianship of her paternal grandmother since 2009, when the youngster requested to live with her relatives after falling out with her mum.
