Post Malone, who has a Nirvana face tattoo, is doing some Nirvana covers for COVID-19 relief
Aux Features Music
In news that’s going to make fortysomething dudes everywhere ask, “What is a Post Malone?,” wildly popular singer Post Malone will be performing some Nirvana covers this Friday to help raise funds for coronavirus relief. Hey, if it makes you feel better, he’s got the name of a relatively obscure Nirvana song tattooed on his face, which is a lot more of a commitment than your smiley face t-shirt.
According to a press release, the tattooed pop artist will play “a set of Nirvana hits and fan favorites” that will likely include In Utero’s “All Apologies,” which he’s covered in the past. Any donations he pulls in will be donated to the United Nations Foundation’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for the World Health Organization, and Google will match all donations up to $5 million. That’s nice!
It all goes down this Friday, April 24 at 3 p.m. PST on Posty’s official YouTube channel. Watch a brief teaser for the event below, and cross your fingers that he gives “Tourette’s” a go. We’d love to hear what that thing does to his voice.

You call it commitment but the vast majority of people with face tattoos(excluding Maori and Native American traditions), its really just a cry for attention
So are comment sections, but whatcha gonna do.
Have another cup of tea I think.
Pip pip, old boy.
Dash it all if that can’t solve the problem.
*pauses halfway through tattooing “Kinja4Life” across forehead…
Which is why I get all my comments tattooed on my face. Double attention!
:: flags and dismisses your face ::
It is a good sign that you shouldn’t take that person seriously or listen to their advice so it’s helpful in that way.
‘In news that’s going to make fortysomething dudes everywhere ask, “What is a Post Malone?,”’Hey man, that’s just like your (correct) opinion man.
Id sooner not zoom in on this dumbasses face but are you trying to tell me that “all apologies” is relatively obscure?
He has “Stay Away” tattooed on his face. Not All Apologies. Though I wouldn’t call that super obscure either – they only had 3 proper albums (and people only bought 2 of them really).
Get “Moist Vagina” on there as well
Or Curmudgeon, you know, for later.
Right, which is why it’s only “relatively obscure”. I’ve never heard of the song, but I’ve also not ever listened to Nirvana outside of like two songs
its true. he could have had any track from Bleach tattooed on his face except for maybe About a Girl and it would be considered obscure (also I’m on my PC now so yes clearly not “all apologies” although he probably should for being so rude to tell everyone to stay away, jerk. )
A real fan would get “Mr. Mustache” tattooed on their upper lip.
I know they’re not related but I can’t help believing that Post Malone is actually Shia LaBeouf’s even less stable little brother
If the Beef and that rapist Danny Masterson had a baby.
Post Mallone is: Beef Masterson!
Pretty much whenever I see this guy’s photo my first thought it, “Shia LaBeouf got face tattoos. Yeah, that tracks.”
Apparently Post hasn’t seen the Puddle of Mudd dude cover Nirvana and the Internets reaction to it.
I gave it the benefit of the doubt….right up until the first frog croak.
Which song, ‘Stay Away’? That obscure little number that was on ‘Nevermind’, the record that changed the face of pop music? Yeah, you’ve probably never heard of it.Come on.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he just got that phrase put on him for some stupid reason he can’t remember and was only later told it was the name of a song.
Nirvana? A cover of The Strokes’ “Bad Decisions” seems more apropos.
Is Post Malone a cereal?
Its what happens after Malone
It’s what Molly did after the cockles and muscles business started to get a little stale.
ew . . . stale cockles.
Goes well with Stockton Oat Bran
Between Puddle of Mudd’s cover of “About a Girl” and now this, hasn’t poor Kurt done enough rolling in his grave lately?
I do my best to keep up with music, but the appeal of this guy baffles me. Kids in my middle school orchestra had better guitar skills and vocals than this imbecile. And seriously: Face Tats. Fucking crown of thorns around your already receding hairline? I hope I live long enough to hear that he’s playing some random midwestern state fair on the third stage.
It’s not a Nirvana tattoo, it’s a warning about the way he smells.
How much money do we have to raise to get him not to do this?
I can rest easy knowing that high school seniors can live-stream a random, crusty-looking dude guy playing acoustic Nirvana covers and have at least one of the senior year party staples. And they won’t even have to explain to their parents why there’s vomit in the bushes.
Since when does a song from an album that sold over 30 million copies count as relatively obscure?
I ended up watching a couple clips from this. It was pretty good and I’m picky about Nirvana. The guitar tones were kind of whack (too much chorus for parts that didn’t originally have it and the guitars had very digital sounding distortion which was probably necessary for the in-ear monitors, but lame for Nirvana), but the song choices were solid. The first five songs were Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle, Drain You, Come As You Are, Lounge Act, and School. The bassist sounded good and it was fun to hear Travis Barker slamming out those simple flams and single stroke drum fills.
jesus fuck, that is the worst version of “all apologies” i’ve ever heard. like if animal from the muppets was an even worse singer.
I’ve been listening to the early version of Stay Away, “Pay To Play” for so long that I forgot it wound up being called Stay Away. I was like “where is this tattoo?” for a good two minutes.
It can’t be any worse than that Puddle of Mudd video
