Courtney Love says in an Instagram video that her long-gestating solo album is finished, recounting a 2019 illness that caused hair loss and a drastic weight drop and nearly killed her; she defied doctors’ grim prognosis, says the experience shaped the record, and thanks collaborators Billie Joe Armstrong, Will Sargent, and Michael Stipe, while hinting at touring once the album is released.
Courtney Love is working on a new solo album with Echo & The Bunnymen's Will Sargent, whom she praises as her favorite guitarist. The album will also feature vocals from R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe. However, Love expressed disappointment with PJ Harvey for not responding to her collaboration request.

Courtney Love commemorated the 29th anniversary of her husband Kurt Cobain's death by sharing a black-and-white photo of his hands clasped together, taken by R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe. Love revealed the image makes her miss the Nirvana frontman 'deeply' almost three decades after he took his own life. She also shared that the picture reminds her of the Buddhist practice the couple used to take part in together and insisted she knows he's in an 'enlightened place' since his death.
