(9/21/02, 10 a.m. ET) -- Courtney Love announced on Friday's (September 20) Howard Stern radio morning show that her lawsuits are now behind her. The former leader of Hole said she'd come to an agreement with the surviving Nirvana members Dave Grohl, now of Foo Fighters, and Krist Novoselic over how the band's recordings, name, and images will be released and marketed.
She told the radio host that "an album will be out by Christmas," referring to an upcoming greatest hits release which will include a previously unreleased track.
Love also told Stern her legal battle against Universal Music Group, which resulted in back-and-forth lawsuits, has been settled "for a lot of money." Love added that she would have put her own album out before the end of the year, but added, "it would be stupid to compete with Kurt," referring to her late husband, Nirvana singer, guitarist, and songwriter Kurt Cobain.
Universal has no comment on Love's statements, though she also said the completed deal will be announced shortly.
Love was scheduled to host 24 hours of MTV2 over the weekend, attempting to educate viewers on her perspective of rock history through videos and comments. On the Stern program, she also evaluated a record made by adult-film actress Houston.
