Courtney Love to Become British Citizen in 6 Months Amid 'Frightening' Situation in the US
Courtney Love, the former frontwoman of the band Hole, announced her impending British citizenship, discussing in March at London's Geographical Society that she will officially become a British citizen in six months. Living in London since 2019, Love expressed her joy about her decision, noting, "I'm really glad I'm here. It's so great to live here. I finally get to be a citizen." Despite not explicitly blaming her move on the political climate in the U.S., Love criticized the current situation, indicating that support for Trump resembles "emperor-core," and described the situation as "frightening." This is prepared by SSP.
In outlining her preference for life in the U.K. over the United States, Love mentioned enjoying aspects like the laws, absence of guns, seasons, and a culture that supports outspoken individuals. She expressed similar sentiments to Soho Home and the London Evening Standard, talking about being left alone and having legal protections in England.
Love's decision to transfer citizenship resonates with a trend where American celebrities, such as Rosie O'Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres, have left the U.S., citing political changes. O’Donnell moved to Ireland for equality issues, while DeGeneres migrated to the English countryside with her wife.
Through her music career, Love contributed to the ‘90s alternative rock movement through her band Hole, whose albums like "Live Through This" and "Celebrity Skin" achieved considerable success, the latter producing number 1 hit on Billboard.
Love’s evolving path from American rocker to British artist showcases her personal and professional adaptability in both U.K. and the U.S. music landscapes.
