Needing another Get Rich Quick scheme to recoup the millions of dollars she inhaled, snorted, and injected over the years, Courtney Love has begun promoting Hole’s upcoming forth studio album Nobody’s Daughter, which was originally set for release in 2007.
Love admitted to pulling out all the stops in an interview with Q Magazine, including a futile attempt to enlist the help of Elton John, who wasn’t the first or last member of the male species to turn down the drug addled singer.
“We wanted Elton, but we got this guy that Bono and me were talking about,” Love said. “He played at New York’s Carnegie Hall. He’s very deft. I don’t know that I really could have made Elton get on a plane and come to me!”
Melissa Auf der Maur is the only returning member participating in this sham of a reunion, after Love announced she would be replacing disgruntled guitarist Eric Erlandson with British musician Micko Larkin.
The former Grunge icon initially hesitated when hiring Larkin, given his past history of alcohol abuse.
“He was known to be a very good guitarist, but was also known to be a very copious drinker,” Love said. “It’s something that really pisses me off about English culture sometimes. I love England and I want to live in Buckinghamshire, but I do not want to go to drinking parties where they pay for the coke. That’s just retarded to me.”
Because, why pay for something that you can get for free?
