Nirvana Stages Surprise Reunion at FireAid
Fans in the Intuit Dome wondering what hit them may have belatedly realized they were witnessing the closest thing to a Nirvana reunion we'll get: The band's three surviving members - Krist Novoselic,
The surviving members of Nirvana — drummer Dave Grohl and bassist Krist Novoselic, as well as touring guitarist Pat Smear — reunited for the first time in five years at the FireAid benefit concert.
In the past few weeks, people have been planning many, many benefits for the victims of the recent Los Angeles wildfires. The biggest of those shows went down last night: FireAid, a gigantic all-star spectacular that took over both the Intuit Dome and the Kia Forum.
Other performances at the LA FireAid concert—held at two venues, the Kia Forum and Intuit Dome—featured Lady Gaga performing a string of A Star Is Born hits as well as an unreleased song, Green Day joined by Billie Eilish for Last Night On Earth, No Doubt continued their reunion, and The Black Crowes and Slash backed John Fogerty.
Joan Jett, Kim Gordon and St. Vincent also joined Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear onstage at the charity fundraiser in Los Angeles
FireAid had some surprises in store, but none bigger than the first reunion from Nirvana's surviving members in over a decade.
FireAid, a sprawling benefit concert for wildfire relief, featured Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder, Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, members of Nirvana and dozens more.
The band also brought out Dave Grohl's 18-year-old daughter, Violet Grohl, to wrap up the set with an emotional rendition of "All Apologies"
FireAid featured spectacular performances to raise funds for those affected by the devastating LA-area wildfires. Find out more about the concert and how to watch here.
