Post Malone Pays Tribute to Kurt Cobain in Livestream Concert
Post Malone paid tribute to one of the most influential rock artists of our time, the late Kurt Cobain of Nirvana.
Last week, the Rockstar singer announced that he would host a live stream concert; that he would be performing Nirvana songs from home to raise money for coronavirus relief efforts. More than that, Malone paid tribute to the late Kurt Cobain in other ways.
And it’s no surprise since the Congratulations singer already has Cobain’s face tattooed on his finger and Nirvana’s Stay Away song title tattooed above his eyebrow.
On Friday, April 24, Malone recreated one of the late singer’s most iconic outfits; stepping out for the live stream wearing a floral dress similar to the one Cobain wore to a 1990 Nirvana performance in Amherst, Massachusetts.
Post Malone is a fashion icon in his own right; accessorising his own take on Cobain’s classic fashion choice. He added a silver choker, layered the dress with a white t-shirt, and wore a trucker hat; truly embodying the grunge vibe.
During his concert, Post Malone covered Nirvana classics Lithium, Heart-Shaped Box, Something In The Way, and Come As You Are.

Live from his Los Angeles home, he was joined by Blink-182’s Travis Barker as the surprise guest drummer and guitarist Nick Mac and bassist Brian Lee.
Last week, Courtney Love also gave her stamp of approval for Post Malone’s tribute concert
“Thank you @postmalone @who (worldhealthorganization) & @google who will match 5 million $ in donations. Thank you beloved @coreresponse and the amazing @nhs ( profound to watch this amazing health care system working = inspiring). And thank you mighty kc for writing these songs with your elegant and monkeyed hands that the kids still want to sing and play and hear and use to fight and hunt and cure and heal and eradicate this fucking covid19 virus. I approve the usage. Good luck mr malone,” Love shared on Instagram.
According to the YouTube video description of the Circles singer’s live stream; the event raised funds for The United Nations Foundation’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for The World Health Organization (WHO) in support of COVID-19 relief efforts.
“Fans can donate to the UN Foundation in real-time during the live stream event using the “DONATE” button on the screen. Google.org will be matching all donations at a 2:1 rate, up to $5M; with all proceeds going to the UN Foundation,” the description continued.
