More Lorde Lorde Profile

Nirvana are currently being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame and as part of their performance, 17-year-old New Zealand world-beater Lorde joined the band on stage.

With the band's Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear on stage, Lorde took the place of late frontman Kurt Cobain to perform All Apologies. It rounded out a series of songs that featured other guests, including Joan Jett for Smells Like Teen Spirit, Kim Gordon on Aneurysm and Annie Clark (St Vincent) for Lithium.

American music media outlet Stereogum are there. This Lorde footage is from their Instagram, which they're keeping updated.

Other inductees this year are KISS, Cat Stevens, Linda Ronstadt, Hall & Oates and Peter Gabriel.
