Nirvana, made up of Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl, was an American rock band and one of the most influential bands of the 90s. Lead singer Kurt Cobain commited suicide on the 8th of April 1994. Like Muse, Nirvana was a band which comprised of three people who had known each other since their teens.

Muse members grew up listening to Nirvana's "Nevermind",[1] which is one of Christopher Wolstenholme's favourite albums[2], while Dominic Howard prefers "In Utero". Howard has said that Nirvana "influenced practically everyone at some point".[3]

Both living former members of Nirvana, Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl, have met Muse. Novoselic appeared on the back-stage guest-list for a 2004 Muse show[1] and Grohl, as the Foo Fighters frontman, has played on a number of festivals with Muse. It is known that Grohl is quite a fan of Muse, especially for their live shows.[1]
