Courtney Love reveals secret health crisis that nearly killed her: 'My body just exploded'

Courtney Love is revealing a health battle she kept private for years.

The Hole singer, 62, 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.

“I went to England in 2019 and when I went there, you know, my body just exploded,” Love said in an Instagram video. “It just exploded. And I was in hospitals a lot. I almost died, I lost all my hair. I was about 100 pounds. And they told me I was going to die, and I didn’t believe them.”

“I wanted to give you an update on my record. When I made it, I believed this was my last record so I made the record I always wanted to make. I was in the hospital mostly but when I wasn’t all I did was write & record it.”

Love also thanked those who worked with her while she was dealing with what she described as trauma.

The project would mark a significant return for Love, who has not released an album since Hole’s 2010 “Nobody’s Daughter.”

She closed her message by asking fans for patience as she prepares to return to public life.
