Courtney Love Stuns Everyone with Muse Talk – and East 17 Love!

Did Courtney Love just drop a ‘Muse’ bomb on Chris Martin? Plus, her surprising fangirl moment over East 17? You won’t believe it!

Courtney Love, the iconic frontwoman of Hole and a figure synonymous with 90s grunge, recently enthralled audiences with an unexpected tale from her past. Remember that time at the Natural History Museum in London back in November 2019 when she had to engage in a rather lengthy conversation with Coldplay's frontman, Chris Martin? Well, according to Love herself, she had to “fake her way through a three-hour conversation” about the band Muse! This unexpected kitchen sink drama of rock ‘n’ roll hilarity has left fans of both artists chuckling at the thought of the two giants of music discussing the nuances of another band's artistry.

But what really takes the cake is that this rock legend, who is often associated with the raw sounds of grunge and the haunting voice of Kurt Cobain, has also made waves expressing her affinity for the boy band East 17. Who would’ve thought that the fiery punk rocker would have a soft spot for a pop outfit, especially one that was a staple during the 90s? Her recent revelation on an episode of ‘Never Mind the Buzzcocks’ showcased her wide-ranging taste in music, showcasing the fact that no genre is beneath love’s embrace.

As Courtney swung from subjects that left her Never Mind the Buzzcocks co-stars, including host Greg Davies, baffled, it brings to light the wonderfully unpredictable nature of music fandom. One moment we can picture the edgy grunge rocker spitting fiery lyrics, and the next, she surprises us with a heartfelt admiration for pop ballads. It’s these quirky, humorous stories that add to her mystique and ultimately prove that great music transcends genres. No wonder she’s still such a relevant figure in the music scene!

And speaking of surprising music tastes, did you know that Courtney’s daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, has been exhibiting her own artistic flare? She’s moved beyond her famous lineage to carve out her path, taking inspiration from her icon parents. Oh, and while we’re at it, let’s not forget that East 17 continues to revive their hits – proving that great tunes never really fade away. So, whether you’re rocking out to Muse or belting out East 17 in the shower, it’s evident that music is one wild, eclectic ride – even for a rock icon like Courtney Love!
