While we donât know any more details about the project at this stage, the album âThe Faithfull: A Tribute To Marianne Faithfullâ was released last December, featuring covers of 19 songs originally performed by the singer-songwriter between 1964 and 2004. Among the artists involved were Iggy Pop and Cat Power, who collaborated on âWorking Class Heroâ, Garbageâs Shirley Manson, and singer-songwriters Tracy Bonham and Joan As Police Woman.
Faithfull, whoâll be 78 in December, has also teamed up with auction house Sothebyâs to auction off a series of âpersonal artefactsâ, including Chanel jackets given to her by Karl Lagerfeld and a signed expired British passport.
Meanwhile, this year has seen rumours that Courtney Love could be bringing Hole back. In June, Love and former Hole bassist Melissa Auf Der Maur were in the studio together for the first time in over two decades, while Love performed the bandâs 1998 classic âCelebrity Skinâ on stage with Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong in March.
A few days prior, she again appeared with Armstrong, and at the end of her time on stage thanked fans before adding, âLater⦠Iâll be back in Hole.â
This year, Love has seemingly changed her tune since 2021, when she told Vogue that a âproperâ Hole reunion will âabsolutely notâ happen. She explained, âYou guys have gotta get over it. Our old manager Peter Mensch calls once a year to ask about a reunion: âHey, just doing my thing I do every year with you and Jimmy Page.â
âAnd Iâm so honored to be in that company, but itâs just not gonna happen.â
