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.
FANS IN TEARS
“Violet Grohl signing All Apologies with Nirvana has me cryinggggg. So so so good,” penned one.
Another added: “Violet Grohl singing Nirvana’s ‘All Apologies’ with Foo Fighters was super cool. She’s got it.”
“Violet Grohl just channeled Kurt Cobain…never thought I’d hear a version like that of All Apologies live again,” penned a third.
While a fourth added: “I love this random Nirvana set in the middle of the FireAid benefit.
“I will always love that when these three guys get together to play that they bring in badass women to fill in for Kurt.
