A rare Nirvana song featuring drummer Dave Grohl on vocals has leaked online.
An alternative version of the track, titled ‘Marigold’, also features the addition of Kera Schaley playing the cello.

The tune was later re-recorded for Nirvana’s third and final studio LP ‘In Utero’, which was released in 1993.
Grohl sings lead vocals on the song in addition to playing guitar and bass, alongside Krist Novoselic, with Grohl adding that the late Kurt Cobain appears on the low harmony. Listen below.

Prior to Grohl’s performance, a message on Foo Fighters‘ Twitter page offered support to ANOHNI (formerly known as Antony Hegarty), whose scheduled performance at the event was cut due to “time constraints”. ANOHNI later said that the snub reminded her of “inadequacy as a transperson”.
