Adam Sandler introduced the group as ‘Post Nirvana’. Nirvana surprised fans by reuniting with Post Malone as singer as part of Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary concert at New York’s Radio City Music Hall. It marked the first time the grunge pioneers - drummer Dave Grohl, guitarist Pat Smear and bassist Krist Novoselic - have played a major televised performance with a male singer since the death of frontman Kurt Cobain in 1994.
This time, 29-year-old rapper Malone lent his vocals to the band’s classic 1991 single “Smells Like Teen Spirit.”. In 2012, they released a song, “Cut Me Some Slack”, with former Beatle Paul McCartney on lead vocals. At the Saturday Night Live concert, Adam Sandler recalled Nirvana’s first appearance on the sketch comedy show while he was a cast member in 1992, calling it “an explosive moment for all of us.” He then introduced the reunited group as: “Post Nirvana.”.
