FireAid had some surprises in store, but none bigger than the first reunion from Nirvana's surviving members in over a decade.
The surviving members of Nirvana reunited for a surprise performance at the FireAid benefit concert in Los Angeles, California last night (January 30th), with the grunge icons having hit the stage to play a few classic songs alongside guest musicians St. Vincent, Kim Gordon, Joan Jett, and Violet Grohl.
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.
FireAid, a sprawling benefit concert for wildfire relief, featured Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder, Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, members of Nirvana and dozens more.
