Rapper Post Malone livestreamed a 15-song home concert of Nirvana covers on April 24, collecting more than 7.5 YouTube views to date, and raising donations of $3 million (at press time) for the United Nations Foundation Covid-19 Solidarity Response Fund for the World Health Organization.

On his YouTube Channel, Malone’s team said, “Google.org will be matching all donations at a 2:1 rate, up to $5 million, with all proceeds going to the UN Foundation.” Donations can be made HERE.

Drummer Travis Barker joined the “socially distanced band,” which was rounded out by guitarist Nick Mac and bassist Brian Lee. Barker performed with his usual intensity, and Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic tweeted: “Hello!!!!!! I love you all!!!! I am holding emotions back the whole show. I don’t think these fellows can play any better. They are on fire!!!!” Advertisement
