Harry Styles channels Kurt Cobain, perfectly performs classic Nirvana track
Harry Styles showed off his best Kurt Cobain impression while covering a classic Nirvana track.
While in Tokyo, Styles joined a band to cover the anthem “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” He wasn’t performing an official show, but proved that he can sing grunge music just as well as he sings pop.

Better yet, Styles performed the song in 2019 novelty glasses. It’s unlikely that the cover will appear on Styles’ next solo album, but we’re really living for the former boy band member’s stellar performance.
Check out a clip of Styles performing the Nirvana track below.

Speaking of Styles’ next album, Matty Healy of the 1975 revealed recently that he wants to produce it. However, he apparently is missing one major thing—the support of Styles himself. Healy believes his account is definitely blocked from Styles’ Twitter and begged Twitter for his new number.
Hey @Harry_Styles me and George really wanna produce your next album hmu if you wanna it’s cool if not tho I know you’re like super busy etc love!!!!!

Healy apparently tried to collab with Styles when he was in One Direction, but they weren’t interested. Even though this collab seems to be going nowhere, we can only hope for the best.
