Courtney Love's rock band, Hole, have confirmed they have split up.
The group won acclaim and fame for Love outside her marriage to Nirvana star Kurt Cobain, but had been dormant since releasing their last album in 1998. They were one of the most popular but raw and angry bands to come out of the United States grunge scene, with hits including Doll Parts and Celebrity Skin. Love has been locked in a copyright battle with record label Universal, claiming her record contract was too long and too strict.
"Courtney Love and [guitarist] Eric Erlandson announced today that they will no longer record or tour together as Hole," a statement on their website said. "I will always treasure the time we played together," Love said. "Eric has been an important part of my family for over 10 years and he'll continue to be a part of my life." Formed in Los Angeles in 1989, the band were loud, intense and alienated when they began. Love married Cobain in 1992 and the band's line-up changed, leading to Hole's first commercial success with their more tuneful second album, 1994's Live Through This.
