Melissa Auf Der Maur has reflected on her past relationship with Dave Grohl, and shared the reasons behind their split.The former Hole and Smashing Pumpkins bassist discussed her past relationship with the Foo Fighters’ frontman in a new interview, and shared what made them part ways despite being “madly in love”.The two dated in the period of 1999 and 2001 – around the same time that Hole released their hit third album ‘Celebrity Skin’ and Foo Fighters released breakthrough record ‘There Is Nothing Left To Lose’, their third full-length album that contained classics including ‘Learn To Fly’ and ‘Breakout’.According to Auf Der Maur, what brought her and Grohl together was the fact they were “both obsessed, committed to rock music” and “non-drug addict, technically happy [and] highly functioning people”.“We were very similar and in many ways, I think our roles in Hole and Nirvana [are] what subconsciously pushed us together,” she said on Sirius XM’s Fierce: Women In Music programme.“I was just leaving Hole [and] entering this sort of like farewell finale tour with the Pumpkins. Dave was just rising up with the Foo Fighters and we had this beautiful compatible couple of years where, I mean, we were madly in love.”She continued: “We also really recognised the turning point we were both at as ’90s musicians that were very close in age, that started very young in our small cool hometowns in Montreal and DX.
