THE remaining members of rock legends Nirvana reunited last night for FireAid, with fans going wild.
Not only did the band reunite for the event, but drummer Dave Grohl brought out a very special guest who some thought “channeled their inner Kurt Cobain”.
Amid the Los Angeles wildfires that have caused disaster this month, a benefit concert took place last night at two venues for one night of music and solidarity.
One of the many highlights for viewers watching at home was when the remaining members of Nirvana reunited onstage to play the band’s songs once again.
The lineup included drummer Dave Grohl, bassist Krist Novoselic, rhythm guitarist Pat Smear.
The band was founded in 1987 by lead singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain and bassist Krist Novoselic.
While the remaining three members performed at FireAird, there was a rotating front line featuring some “badass women”.
St. Vincent, Kim Gordon and Joan Jett, each stepped in for the late Kurt Cobain.
But it was the final woman who was brought out on-stage who left viewers totally gobsmacked.
Dave Grohl brought out his daughter Violet Grohl, who is just 18 years of age.
Reacting to Violet’s performance, fans went wild on X, with many saying how they were in tears.
