Rocker Janis Joplin's lesbian lover talks about their relationship
The former lesbian lover of late rockstar Janis Joplin has spoken out about their relationship – and denying she was responsible for Joplin’s death – in a new interview.
Peggy Caserta, 77, had an on-off relationship with Joplin, who was nicknamed “Pearl,” in San Francisco between 1966 and 1970, the same year when the rocker died from a suspected heroin overdose aged 27.
Caserta, who now lives in Louisiana, infamously revealed her romance with Joplin in her ghostwritten book 'Going Down With Janis', published in 1973. However, she has since disowned the work, and criticised ghostwriter Dan Knapp.
Now, Caserta has spoken to Vulture about being Joplin’s lover, following the release of her second memoir 'I Ran Into Some Trouble' on August 1.
