Phoebe Bridgers Covers Nirvana In The Live Lounge

Phoebe Bridgers has made her first live performances since the release of her album *Lost Weekend* a reality, albeit in a different way than initially planned. Due to a diagnosis of appendicitis, Bridgers had to postpone a series of intimate UK shows, which were scheduled to be her first live performances since last Friday.

Before her appendix flared up, Bridgers made it to BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge in London to record a session. This session is now live and features performances of her *Lost Weekend* single "Lost Boys" and "Bobby", a love song that has emerged as a new fan favorite. It's worth noting that phones have been banned from Bridgers' shows this year, making this the first performance footage of "Bobby" to circulate publicly.

In addition to her own songs, Bridgers also performed a cover of Nirvana's "Lithium", one of many indelible hits from Nirvana's *Nevermind*. Nirvana's music has a special place in Bridgers' life, as she has collaborated with the band's drummer Dave Grohl in the past. Her supergroup boygenius re-created an iconic Nirvana *Rolling Stone* photo shoot for their own *Rolling Stone* cover story, and later that year Dave Grohl joined them onstage at the Hollywood Bowl for a performance of *The Record*'s "Satanist."

The Live Lounge session is now available to listen to, featuring Bridgers' performances of "Lost Boys", "Bobby", and "Lithium". Some fans have noted a possible reference to the Beatles' "Blackbird" in the middle of the "Lithium" cover, but this has not been confirmed.
