JAKARTA - Melissa Auf Der Maur recalled her past relationship with Dave Grohl. He also shared the reasons behind their separation.

The former bassist of Hole and Smashingvis discussed his relationship with frontman Foo Fighters in an interview and shared what led them to separate despite "falling in love".

The two dated in the 1999 and 2001 periods around the same time Hole released their third hit album Celebrity Skin and Foo Fighters released the breakthrough album There Is Nothing Left To Lose.

As is known, the full album of the three Foos contains songs such as Learn to Fly and Breakout.

According to Auf Der Maur, what brings him and Grohl together is the fact that they are both obsessed, committed to rock music and not drug addicts.

"We are very similar and in many ways, I think our roles in Hole and Nirvana [are] who are unconsciously pushing us together," said Auf Der Maur in the Fierce: Women In Music Sirius XM program.

I just left Hole [and] into some sort of final tour of farewells withvis. Dave has just grown up with Foo Fighters and we have had some beautiful and suitable years where, I mean, we fell in love with each other. "

He continued that they also really realized the turning point of the two of them as musicians in the 90s who were very close, which started very young in small hometowns in Montreal and DX.

"We have a very similar group where we come from... we don't like hunger to become rock stars. We come from very integrity-based music scene in our cool cities," he continued.

The end of the separation between the two, he explained, was because they both wanted to follow different career paths over time.

"(The relationship) is full of love," said the bassist, recalling the times they broke up. [I] want to withdraw from the hell of a large corporate that has become our musical scene, and he has not finished and has some proof or ambition or business to do.

"It's purely like, 'I love you and I want you to do what you want to do and you obey me and you want me to do [the same thing]' And it's simple and very clear.

Reporting from People magazine, since the separation, Auf der Maur is married to filmmaker Tony Stone, with whom she has an 11-year-old daughter named River. Away from the world of music, he and Stone also formed a New York-based nonprofit art center in 2010, named Basilica Hudson.

Meanwhile Grohl was then married to TV producer Jordyn Blum and has since had three children - Violet (17 years old), Harper (14 years old) and Opelia (8 years old).
