Courtney Love, the 62-year-old Hole singer, has revealed a health battle she kept private for years. In an Instagram video, Love shared an update about her long-awaited new album, explaining that the record took shape during a period when she was frequently hospitalized and believed it could be her final work.

Health Crisis

Love said she went to England in 2019 and her body “just exploded” due to an unspecified illness. She was in hospitals a lot, lost all her hair, and was about 100 pounds. Despite being told she was going to die, Love refused to accept the prognosis and ultimately recovered.

Love connected her determination to a memory from childhood, describing a tendency to challenge what adults told her was true. She wants to return to the road and perform again, describing music as essential to her well-being. Her new album appears to have emerged directly from the period in which she was fighting to recover.
