В It seems celebrity skin is just as susceptible to swine flu as everyone else’s. Former Hole and Smashing Pumpkins bassist Melissa Auf der Maur says she’s recovering from a bout with the H1N1 influenza strain.
“It turns out that, somewhere between a video shoot in Vermont, a heavy metal concert in London, and my own musical showcase in Toronto, I had indeed fallen victim to a world pandemic,” Auf der Maur wrote in a first-person account at online magazine, the Mark.
“I am now officially on the mend – thanks to a combination of naturopathic treatments and heavy-duty antibiotics, among other survival tools.”
