Kanye West’s “Sunday Service” Reworks Nirvana Classics
Milan Italy, 25 February 1994, live concert of Nirvana at the Palatrussardi : The singer and guitarist of Nirvana, Kurt Cobain, during the concert;NEW YORK, NY - SEPTEMBER 07: Kanye West attends the Ralph Lauren fashion show during New York Fashion Week at Bethesda Terrace on September 7, 2018 in New York City.
Kanye West and his “Sunday Service” performances, which NPR called, “exclusive, musical worship gatherings for the rich and famous…[that] aren’t so much about piety as they are about self-promotion,” has now taken on the catalog of Nirvana.
