Dave Grohl finds it ironic that Nirvana is being sued for sexual exploitation by Spencer Elden, who claims he was the naked baby on the cover of the band’s second album, Nevermind.
Speaking to Vulture, Grohl says, “I don’t know that I can speak on it because I haven’t spent too much time thinking about it. I feel the same way most people do in that I have to disagree. That’s all I’ll say.”
When Grohl was reminded that Elden has recreated the photo several times as an adult, he said, “Listen, he’s got a ‘Nevermind’ tattoo. I don’t.”
A 30th anniversary edition of Nevermind, with the cover photo intact, will be released on November 12th.
Grohl and the Foo Fighters will perform at the House of Blues in Cleveland Thursday night ahead of their induction Saturday in Cleveland into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Grohl’s daughter Violet joined the band X last week on stage at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles to sing their song “Nausea.”
Violet and her dad recorded and released the song earlier this year.
X drummer DJ Bonebrake is a distant relative of Dave’s.
