Phoebe Bridgers performed an intimate cover of Nirvana‘s 1991 classic “Lithium” for the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge. The singer recorded her appearance on the show earlier this month, only hours before being hospitalized for appendicitis. Appearing with a guitarist, Bridgers also showcased her own song “Bobby,” which comes off her new album Lost Weekend.
Earlier this month, Bridgers was forced to reschedule several U.K. shows after being diagnosed with appendicitis. The group also joined forces with Dave Grohl for a live performance of “Satanist” at the Hollywood Bowl in 2024. Grohl was notably meant to play on the group’s album The Record, but he missed the session.
Rolling Stone writer Angie Martoccio gave Lost Weekend four-and-a-half stars, calling the album a “spectacular song cycle on love and loss.” “Bridgers makes up for the last several years (you might call it lost time) by giving us her longest and most daring record yet,” she writes in her review. The trek will begin Sept. 15 in Indianapolis at Gainbridge Fieldhouse and conclude Dec. 12 at Sweden’s Avicii Arena.
