Phoebe Bridgers Covers Nirvana’s “Lithium” on BBC 1 Live Lounge
Phoebe Bridgers stopped by BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge for a new episode that aired Wednesday, August 19th, during which she performed a cover of Nirvana’s “Lithium.” As of publishing, the performance hasn’t been uploaded to YouTube, but you can check out the audio below.
In addition to her take on the Nevermind classic, Bridgers delivered what will be her first widely available performance of “Bobby” from her latest album, Lost Weekend, and lead single “Lost Boys.”
This episode appears to have been recorded before Bridgers got appendicitis, which has forced her to postpone the remainder of her scheduled UK shows for this week.
Bridgers has plenty of time to make up those intimate shows ahead of her massive fall “The Lost Tour,” which doesn’t kick off for another month. Look for deals and get tickets to sold-out shows at here (where fans can save $20 on their first order of $200 or more with promo code CONSEQUENCE20 at checkout).
Read Wren Graves’ A- review of Lost Weekend, which Taylor Swift has praised as “an absolute triumph.”
