Dave Grohl explains why he will never sing a Nirvana song

The Foo Fighters' lead singer and ex-Nirvana drummer has discussed the grunge band and explained why he won't be singing their songs.

Dave Grohl is among the rare few who have had the fortune of being part of two of the world's biggest bands.

He not only leads the powerhouse Foo Fighters but also served as the drummer for Nirvana until the untimely death of their frontman, Kurt Cobain, in 1994.

Although Grohl has occasionally returned to the drum kit to play some of the iconic grunge band's biggest hits, would he ever take the microphone to sing a Nirvana song?

In a recent interview with Classic Rock magazine, he stated, "I wouldn't feel comfortable singing a song that Kurt sang. I feel perfectly at home playing those songs on the drums. And I love playing them with Krist and Pat and another vocalist."

He continued, "I still have dreams that we're in Nirvana, that we're still a band. I still dream there's an empty arena waiting for us to play.

Was Kurt Cobain jealous of Dave Grohl?

Reports suggest that Cobain believed his bandmate was a talented singer and even felt a bit envious of him.

In 2019, the band's former manager, Danny Goldberg, released his book "Serving The Servant: Remembering Kurt Cobain," where he shares his recollections of the late grunge legend.

In an interview with The Washington Post, he recalled Kurt telling him, "Kurt just said to me, ‘I don’t think you realise how good a singer Dave is, but I hear him singing harmonies every night.’"

Goldberg further commented, "It was like he was really doing it so I would know this because there was this very fraternal side of him and a sweet side of him, but also it had a touch of envy in it. I mean he was competitive".
