Baby who appeared on Nirvana’s Nevermind cover is suing the band for ‘sexual exploitation’

The Metro says the star of Nirvana’s iconic Nevermind album cover is now all grown up at 30 years old – and is suing the band for ‘sexual exploitation’.

Spencer Elden was four months old when he appeared on the cover of the 1991 album, swimming naked in a pool and following a dollar bill on a hook.

The 30-year-old is suing 15 defendants including Nirvana’s surviving members, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic, Kurt Cobain’s former wife Courtney Love and his estate, and the record labels behind the album for $150,000 (£109,000) each, alleging that he could not consent to being pictured for the artwork, and claims he has suffered ‘lifelong damages’.
