Surviving members of Nirvana team up with Beck to cover David Bowie's 'Man Who Sold The World'

The band originally cover the song with Kurt Cobain in 1993

In 1993, Nirvana appeared on MTV Unplugged, defying all expectations by playing both their and other artists’ lesser known work, and definitely not ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’.

Soon after the show aired, the album was released, going straight to number one in the US, and with it renewing interest in David Bowie’s third album, ‘The Man Who Sold the World’.

Nirvana had, of course, covered the titular song from the album during the sessions, Kurt Cobain having always been a massive Bowie fan.

Years later, during a Grammy Awards pre-gala in Los Angeles, the surviving members of the band (Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear) joined by Beck to revisit the song, paying tribute to the late Starman. Watch the group's performance above.

Dave Grohl recently revisited his Nirvana days when he met up with the actress who played the young girl in the band’s ‘Heart Shaped Box’ music video.

The Foo Fighter’s frontman also paid tribute to Motorhead’s Lemmy by joining forces with members of Metallica and Slayer to perform ‘The Ace of Spades’.
