The baby that is on the iconic cover of the Nirvana album Nevermind this year turned 30. The album itself will turn 30 on September 24th. Well, Spencer Elden who was the baby has decided to sue Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, and the Kurt Cobain estate. TMZ reports that Elden claims that he did not give consent to the band for his image. Of course, it is hard for a 4-month-old baby to give consent. He claims his legal guardians did not give consent as well. Elden is seeking at least $150,000 in damages for the use of his naked image as a baby.
Now here’s where it gets interesting. For Nevermind’s 15th and 25th anniversary, he recreated the famous image. Also, his parent at the time of the photo being shot for the album cover said yes and were paid $200.
