“don’t wanna spoil the promise”
This news comes just months after Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic had also hinted that a reissue for Nevermind was in the works.
His former bandmate Dave Grohl also revealed that the remaining members of Nirvana still meet up and play music together.
Nevermind has also been in the news recently, after it emerged that the baby used for the album cover (now a fully grown adult!) is suing the band for alleged “child exploitation”. More on that here.
The man whose body was used for the album cover in 1991, Spencer Elden also wants the original cover redacted for future releases.
