AUF DER MAUR DAMPENS HOLE REUNION RUMOURS

Former HOLE rocker MELISSA AUF DER MAUR has thrown COURTNEY LOVE's plans to reform the band into doubt - insisting there will be no reunion.
Love recently announced she wants to release new material as Hole, the group she co-founded with Eric Erlandson in 1989.
But the news came as a shock to the guitarist, who claimed Love would have to go through him if she wanted to use the Hole name - because she signed away her rights to the band in 2002.
Love hit back, insisting the group belongs to her - but bass player Auf der Maur has finally put the rumours of a reunion to rest.
She tells NME.Com, "My loyalty to the legacy of Hole is eternal. But there is no reunion mapped out at this point. I liked the idea of singing with her again, so I said yes, but no singing has happened and I am not aware of any plans for it. I have nothing to do with, and know nothing about, the legal beagle name game."
Auf Der Maur admits she is back in contact with Love, but is adamant it is only as friends.
She adds, "It is true that Courtney and I have been in touch for the first time in a decade, in the context of female humans with significant history of sisterhood. We both love music and magic and are reconnecting because it's been too long."
