Page "Courtney Love" Paragraph 14

Hole recorded their second album, Live Through This, in late 1993 in Atlanta and released it in April 1994, just four days after Love's husband, Kurt Cobain, was found dead of a self-inflicted shotgun wound in their home.

The album featured a new lineup, with Kristen Pfaff on bass and Patty Schemel on drums.

In June 1994, Pfaff died of an apparent heroin overdose, and Love recruited bassist Melissa Auf der Maur for the band's upcoming tour.

Throughout the months preceding the tour, Love was rarely seen in public, spending her time in her home or visiting the Namgyal Buddhist Monastery in New York.
