No Reunion Tour For Nirvana, Says Grohl

Studio version of ‘Cut Me Some Slack’ is out – but tour is off limits

Published 18th Dec 2012

Dave Grohl has denied reports that there will be a reunion tour for Nirvana. His people have told the New York Post that reports in the tabloid were ‘nonsense’. The rumours follow Grohl’s  performance of new track ‘Cut me Some Slack’ at last week’s Hurricane Sandy benefit gig in New York, with original band members Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear plus Paul McCartney on vocals. The four played together again on ‘Saturday Night Live’ and a studio version of the track has now been released  - you can hear it on air on Planet Rock and it is now downloadable from iTunes. 

Meanwhile, more details have been revealed about further collaborations for Grohl’s forthcoming ‘Sound City’ documentary soundtrack. He has recorded with Stevie Nicks, Trent Reznor and Joshua Homme, plus Black Rebel Motorcycle Club’s Peter Hayes and Robert Levon Been have contributed tracks as well as Foo Fighters drummer, Taylor Hawkins. 

Dave Grohl’s directorial debut about the legendary recording studio in California will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival next year.
