Courtney Love has called on Dave Grohl to publicly acknowledge that their long-running feud is over, claiming the Foo Fighters frontman has failed to inform his fans of their reconciliation.
Speaking on The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan podcast, the Hole singer said she and Grohl made peace over a decade ago, but that he needs to be open about it. “Come out with it and just say we’re cool,” she urged. “Be man enough to man up.”
Love suggested Grohl fears losing his fanbase of straight men if he admits they are on good terms. “Dave. It would really behoove me if the straight white males that are your base stop picking on me,” she added.
Billy Corgan, host of the podcast, confirmed he has seen the pair together amicably. “Dave doesn't have any issue with you,” he said. The Independent has contacted Grohl for comment.
The feud dates back to the 1990s, when Love sued Nirvana’s surviving members after Kurt Cobain’s death. The legal dispute was settled in 2002. However, both parties have indicated in recent years that they buried the hatchet at Nirvana’s 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction.
In a 2024 interview with Rolling Stone, Grohl recalled their reunion: “We gave each other a big hug. I said, ‘How are you?’ She goes, ‘Good.’ … We’re family. We love each other, no matter what.”
