20 Aug
Summary
- Bridgers delivered a haunting acoustic rendition of Nirvana's 'Lithium'.
- Her cover offered a folky, ethereal take on the classic song.
- Bridgers recently canceled UK shows due to appendicitis.
Phoebe Bridgers recently offered a haunting acoustic cover of Nirvana's 1991 song "Lithium" for BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge. Bridgers' rendition transformed the intense track into a folky, ethereal performance, highlighting the song's themes of grief and depression with a softer vocal approach.
This performance comes as Bridgers had to cancel intimate UK shows scheduled for the current week due to appendicitis. She announced this on Instagram, humorously noting she "got appendicitis for my birthday." These shows were in support of her newly released solo album, "Lost Weekend."
Despite the cancellations, Bridgers assured fans that the shows would be rescheduled. She is slated to return for a series of arena concerts in the fall, including two sold-out dates at London's O2 Arena on December 1-2.
