Nirvana Stages Surprise Reunion at FireAid
Then came what was perhaps the biggest surprise: Violet Grohl, Dave’s 18-year-old daughter, singing lead vocals on Nirvana’s In Utero highlight “All Apologies.” Her vocals were strong and well-suited for the song, and while the magnitude of the Kia Forum’s crowd wasn’t lost on her, she was remarkably comfortable in front of the massive crowd.
A rotating group of women vocalists joined the surviving members of the legendary '90s band for a raucous reunion set.
FireAid had some surprises in store, but none bigger than the first reunion from Nirvana's surviving members in over a decade.

The temporary band leads included Kim Gordon, St. Vincent, Joan Jett and Grohl’s 18-year-old daughter Violet, who he shares with wife Jordyn Blum. Singing the last song for the group, Novoselic walked to the mic and introduced Violet onto the stage before performing their classic 1993 hit “All Apologies.”
Pink, who always dials it up to 100, performed Janis Joplin's “Me and Bobby McGee” and Led Zeppelin's “Babe I'm Gonna Leave You.” While introducing John Mayer, she addresses the crowd: “Ladies and gentlemen, and every other gender which absolutely exists,” seemingly a reference to President Trump's “two gender” declaration.
