Following their long-running feud, Courtney Love now wants Dave Grohl to tell his fans that they’re “cool.”
Formerly married to Grohl’s late Nirvana bandmate Kurt Cobain, Love urged the Foo Fighters frontman to publicly declare that their beef is over and done with, so his fans will stop allegedly “picking on” her.
During her recent appearance on The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan podcast, the former Hole singer discussed being bad-mouthed in the press and called on Grohl to “be man enough to man up” and “come out with it and just say we’re cool”. Adding that he’s “afraid” he’ll “lose (his) audience” by doing so, the 61-year old continued “It would really behoove me if the straight white males that are your base, if you will, stop picking on me. The millennials in particular. Gen Z is not picking on me anymore.”
The Smashing Pumpkins frontman, who hosts the podcast, confirmed that Grohl “doesn’t have any issue” with Love. “Say that to his base. It’s so stupid,” she repled “I couldn’t write a song about Dave Grohl to save my life. He’s written like, four songs about me and they’re hits. I’m like, wait what? Like, what about me? I don’t get it.”
Grohl, who wrote the Foo Fighters songs ‘I’ll Stick Around’ and ‘Let It Die’ about Love, attended her wedding to Cobain in 1992. Yet after Cobain’s 1994 death by suicide, the rocker’s widow and bandmate became embroiled in a bitter legal battle over the rights to Nirvana’s music that was ultimately settled in 2002.
After their long-running feud, during which they criticized each other in the press, the pair appeared to have resolved their issues by 2014, when they were seen hugging at Nirvana’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
