Last night saw Nirvana inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, with the band’s two surviving members performing live at the event.

In absence of the late Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic chose four leading frontwomen to perform some of the grunge outfit’s seminal tracks. Joan Jett performed “Smells Like Teen Spirit”, Kim Gordon ran through “Aneurysm”, St Vincent did “Lithium” and Lorde sang on “All Apologies”.
