Courtney Love surprised attendees at the Royal Geographical Society in London by singing a cover of the Bob Dylan classic “Like a Rolling Stone.”
The Hole singer was at the venue on Tuesday (March 4th) to host a conversation with actor-writer Todd Almond to discuss his new book Slow Train Coming: Bob Dylan’s Girl From the North Country and Broadway’s Rebirth. Following the talk, the pair were joined by an acoustic guitarist as they got up to sing “Like a Rolling Stone,” with Love on lead vocals and Almond backing her up.
The performance came 59 years after Dylan sang the song at his famous 1966 concert at Royal Albert Hall, which is right next door to the Royal Geographical Society. It also came roughly a year after Love joined Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong for a few Cheap Trick and Tom Petty covers in London.
Along with singing “Like a Rolling Stone” at the book event, Love shot down any talk of a Hole reunion. Instead she’s focusing on a new solo album that’s set to feature collaborations with R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe and Echo & The Bunnymen’s Will Sergeant, among others.
Love’s most recent recording was a guest appearance on a cover of Tim Buckley’s “Song to the Siren” on UK hip-hop artist 070 Shake’s 2024 album Petrichor.
