Until now, the world did not know how close Courtney Love recently came to death.
A recent health scare led to multiple hospitalizations. She lost her hair. She was dangerously underweight.
“My body just exploded,” she characterized.
Courtney survived. She is also channeling the pain from that time into her new album.
‘I almost died’
Over the weekend, the 62-year-old Hole singer shared an Instagram video to update fans on several years of news.
Ostensibly about her upcoming music, Courtney ended up sharing a lot about a health battle that led to multiple hospitalizations — and had doctors warning her that she was going to die.
“I went to England in 2019, and when I went there, you know, my body just exploded,” she characterized.
“It just exploded,” she continued, soon abandoning hyperbole. “And I was in hospitals a lot. I almost died.”
Courtney detailed: “I lost all my hair. I was about 100 pounds.”
“And they told me I was going to die, and I didn’t believe them,” Courtney informed her fans and followers.
She elaborated on how she refused to accept that death was coming, likening it to having challenged authority even as a child.
“I never really lost my ability to see that … red was red. Despite them telling me that red was blue,” Courtney recalled of her childhood.
“And, so, when they said, ‘You’re going to die,’ I just didn’t believe them,” she explained. “And, somehow, I got better.”
Courtney announced: “I’m healthy, which is amazing.”
‘I’m fine now’
“I just wasn’t public about being sick,” Courtney acknowledged. “I don’t want to be public.”
She emphasized: “I’m fine now.”
One of the things that Courtney said is essential to her overall wellness is music. Her music, specifically.
Her long-anticipated upcoming album began to form during this dark time in her life.
Now, she is looking forward to performing again and traveling — things that doctors had told her that she would never get to do again.
“When I made it,” Courtney said of her record in her Instagram caption, “I believed this was my last record so I made the record I always wanted to make.”
She recalled: “I was in the hospital mostly but when I wasn’t all I did was write & record it.”
Courtney affirmed: “I want to tour more than anything. & I want to sing.”
She added: “That’s what keeps my soul & body happy.”
We hope that she is able to keep both her soul and body happy (and healthy) as she treats the world to new music.

In December of 2025, Jordyn Woods became engaged to Karl-Anthony Towns.
Now, the two are married.
Over the weekend, they held a ceremony in Malibu with a star-studded guest list.
Kylie Jenner attended. Just a few years ago, that seemed impossible.
Congratulations!
First, the big news.
On Saturday, August 15, Jordyn married Karl-Anthony Towns in a beautiful outdoor ceremony.
The nuptials overlooked the ocean in Malibu.
Jordyn likely needs no introduction — even if some people might only know her from her internet-breaking lymphatic massage video a few years ago.
Karl-Anthony is actually famous in his own right as a member of a basketball team known as the Knicks. Even if you don’t follow sports, you may have heard of them recently due to the jubilation that many in New York felt as the team won a series of important games.

Jordyn and Karl-Anthony became engaged in December 2025.
According to People, the guest list included Kylie Jenner, Timothée Chalamet, Hailey Bieber, Justin Bieber, Teyana Taylor, Michael B. Jordan, Jada Pinkett Smith, Ben Stiller, and Christine Taylor.
Karl-Anthony also had some teammates in attendance. If you can name even one of them without looking it up, congratulations for knowing sports lore.
Some expressed surprise over Kylie (and, by extension, Timmy’s) presence at the wedding.
For Kylie to attend — and for Jordyn to invite her — really highlights how much has changed.
Why is that a surprise?
Kylie and Jordyn were longtime besties. Practically joined at the hip. They were actually living together.
One does not have to think back too far to remember when Khloe Kardashian was still trying to make the whole Tristan Thompson thing work.
Right before she went into labor to deliver True, the entire world learned that Tristan had repeatedly been untrue.
It appears that he may have, at most, taken occasional breaks from cheating on Khloe in order to do things like play basketball games and also sleep.
In February 2019, Tristan allegedly kissed Jordyn at a party. When it got back to Khloe, she flipped out … but seemed to direct her public ire at the 20-year-old girl and not at the serial cheater who had once again done what he does best.

Thinking back to early 2019, Khloe blamed Jordyn for being “the reason my family broke up.”
(We have spoken repeatedly about how Khloe was deeply affected by her parents’ divorce and clearly seemed to feel that it would be better for True if she and Tristan stayed together, even though just about any child of parents who stayed together for their kids can tell you that it’s a mistake.)
Amidst what must have been massive family pressure (the Kardashians tend to circle the wagons with a misguided loyalty whenever anything goes awry), Kylie cut off her friendship with Jordyn. Meaning that Jordyn getting kissed at a party led to her losing her home and best friend in one fell swoop.
(Jada Pinkett-Smith even publicly interceded to help Jordyn get out her side of the story, as Jordyn was being targeted at full blast by Khloe when she was truly in her villain era.)
Clearly, things are better now. Kylie and Jordyn reconciled back in 2023, even if things will never again be the way that they were. Also Khloe has since dumped Tristan for what everyone hopes will be the last time.

As we previously reported, Hayden Panettiere passed away at her home in South Carolina on Sunday.
The beloved star of Heroes, Nashville, and the Scream franchise was just 36 years old.
Speculation regarding the cause of Panettiere’s death has run rampant in the hours since news of her passing was made public.
And much of it has centered around Panettiere’s battles with substance abuse and mental illness.
There’s still no official conclusion about Hayden’s cause of death, but according to a new report from TMZ, officials say there was no sign of foul play.
Panettiere appears to have gone into cardiac arrest on Sunday afternoon.
A friend reportedly called 911, and EMTs performed “advanced cardiac life support” and chest compressions, but the actress was pronounced dead at 2:32 p.m.
The identity of the person who placed the call, and insiders have indicated that Hayden may have been living with her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, before her death.
One insider revealed that Hayden had been complaining about chronic back pain in the months leading up to her death.
It is not clear, however, if either that ailment or any course of treatment for it factored into her death.
Sadly, Hayden’s short life was a rather tumultuous one, as evidenced by revelations in her recent memoir.
In addition to her battles with substance abuse and mental illness, Panettiere revealed she was coerced into sexual activity with an older male celebrity when she was just 18 years old.
Following the birth of her daughter, Hayden suffered severe postpartum depression and eventually surrendered custody to her ex, Wladimir Klitschko, who lives in Ukraine.
Her relationship with Hickerson was notoriously toxic, and he admitted to “abusing her” in a statement issued in May, per Page Six.
The outlet also reports that Hickerson flew from Los Angeles to South Carolina with Panettiere on Saturday.
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.
