Post Malone’s left arm essentially doubles up as a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame gallery. That’s legendary singer-songwriter Bob Dylan on his bicep, playing the harmonica to boot. The late rapper Lil Peep also adorns his skin just a little further up, while a huge portrait of country music icon Johnny Cash can be found near his shoulder. Malone also found some space for a depiction of Kurt Cobain shredding on his guitar.
Malone appears to be a particularly big fan of Nirvana, as he also has the name of their 1991 breakthrough album, “Nevermind,” on his palm and one of its singles, “Stay Away,” above his right eyebrow. The rapper also covered the same track, as well as the likes of “Something in the Way,” “Heart Shaped Box,” and “Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle” during a livestreamed tribute concert from his Salt Lake City mansion in 2020.
The “Rockstar” singer told Howard Stern (via Kerrang) that he made sure he got permission from Cobain’s daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, before playing the set: “It’s important to me because I loved Kurt so much, and he’s been such an inspiration to me, musically. I could never want to offend anybody by trying to show support, so I just wanted to make sure that everything was okay — and it was okay, and we raised money for a good cause, and we got to play some of the most f***ing epic songs ever.”
