Drew Barrymore's Rock 'n' Roll Romance with Eric Erlandson

0:00I'm Cory with the story, bringing you the latest in entertainment and pop culture. Drew Barry more recently shared a wild story about her first meeting with whole guitarist, Eric Erlinson. It happened outside a dingy dive bar in Los Angeles, where she was throwing up in an alley. Eric stepped in like a true gentleman, standing by to make sure she was safe in the rough neighborhood. They crossed paths again in Seattle and quickly fell in love, dating from 1994 to 1996. This came right after tough losses in the music world, including Kurt Cobain's death and bassist Kristen Faf's overdose, Eric's ex-girlfriend. On her talk show, Barrymore chatted with whole's former bassist, Melissa, after more, about navigating that heavy time. They described it as a period of darkness around creative people trying to push forward and make art. Melissa joined whole in 1994 on Billy Corrigan's recommendation and stayed for five years until the band split in 2002. She and Barrymore felt they arrived just when the group needed support from strong women.
