Early last week, I heard on Alt92.3 that Post Malone was going to be doing a tribute to Nirvana. The on-air deejay Cane was hopeful he would do well and boy did he deliver!
It aired on Friday, April 24th at 6 pm. Malone played a 15 song set for an hour and 15 minutes. He was joined by Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, singer-songwriter Brian Less
The performance opened with “Francis Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle,” a track from Nirvana’s last studio album, In Utero.
Malone was joined by Blink-182’s Travis Barker on drums, singer-songwriter Brian Lee on bass, and guitarist Nick Mac. The four performed from different rooms in Post’s house in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Malone also got the blessing of Kurt Cobains’s widow, Courtney Love. Love praised Malone’s performance posting on Instagram after the livestream.
Nirvana’s former bassist Krist Novoselić also was impressed with the performance.
