Kristen Pfaff

Kristen Pfaff
Kristen Pfaff was a bass player with the Minneapolis group “Janitor Joe” when she was spotted at a L.A. night club by Courtney Love and guitarist Eric Erlandson who quickly recruited her for their band “Hole”. She soon was enticed into using heroin with the rest of her musical peers. After awhile Kristen became disenchanted with the drug-crazed Seattle music scene and entered a re-hab to clean herself up. Still reeling from the loss of Kurt Cobain, after the completion of “Live Through This” she announced she was leaving the group. She contacted her old bandmates and made plans to rejoin her old group “Janitor Joe”. On June 14th she began packing to leave Seattle and “Hole” for good. She was said to have remained clean which makes her death another rock mystery as she was found dead in her bathtub due to a heroin overdose on June 16th, 1994 on the day of her scheduled departure. She was 24 years old.
