Post Malone Discusses His Love For Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain
Post Malone digs Kurt Cobain. He even has a song called “Kurt Cobain” and has covered Nirvana’s music multiple times, first in 2016 with “Lithium.”
Malone performed Nirvana songs during the first pandemic wave in 2020 to raise money for Covid-19 relief. He later revealed he’d asked Cobain’s daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, for permission.
“We went to Kurt’s daughter. 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 OK. And it was ok, and we raised money for a good cause, and we got to play some of the most fu__ing epic songs ever,” said Post.
During the tribute, Malone wore a Cobanesque thrift store dress and covered ‘Heart-Shaped Box’ and ‘Lithium’ with Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker. The concert was a huge success, raising $2.6 million in just a few hours.
The rapper earned praise from former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl. “They were killing it,” Grohl said following the live stream.
