Hole’s Courtney Love and Melissa Auf Der Maur were back in the studio again this week for the first time in over two decades – check out the photos below.Auf Der Maur joined the band in 1994 following the death of bassist Kristen Pfaff, and remained for five years, recording the 1998 album ‘Celebrity Skin’.Now, the two musicians have reunited in a recording studio for the first time in 24 years, with a series of photos having been shared on Instagram.

It is not clear whether they were recording anything together.A post shared by FROMHERTOETERNITY (@_fromhertoeternity)In February, Love reignited speculation about a possible Hole reunion when she told a crowd in London that she will be returning with the band “later”.During a surprise performance with Green Day‘s Billie Joe Armstrong, which included performances of ‘He’s A Whore’ and ‘Surrender’ by Cheap Trick and ‘Even The Losers’ by Tom Petty, she said: “Later… I’ll be back in Hole”.Speculation has been swirling about the chances of a comeback for the band for many years.

They did appear on stage together in October 2018 in Hudson, New York, playing Hole songs ‘Doll Parts’, ‘Miss World’ and ‘Softer Softest’.In 2019, Love entertained an idea of getting the band back together full-time during an interview with The Guardian, telling the outlet: “We are definitely talking about it.

There’s nothing wrong with honouring your past.”This coincided with later comments she’d make with NME the following year, when she revealed that she had “had a good session” at a rehearsal with ex-bandmates Patty Schemel and Auf der Maur.
