Singer Courtney Love has stunned her fans by posting a series of shocking semi-naked photos on micro-blogging site Twitter.

Love had quit the site last month after accidentally publishing a nearly-nude photo of herself which was intended for a boyfriend. Now she is back and shocked her fans by uploading explicit pictures showing her flashing butt and kissing a female friend, reports dailystar.co.uk.

The photographs show the rocker writhing on a chair and baring her bottom, as well as posing in just a bra. The final snap is of Love kissing a female pal, who is exposing her nipple.
