He also claimed the image on the cover was taken and used without his consent.
Last August, Spencer Elden filed the lawsuit, alleging the photo of the baby reaching for a dollar in a swimming pool violated federal child pornography statutes and arguing child sexual exploitation. In the suit, Elden claims that his legal guardians never signed documents “authorizing the use of any images of Spencer or of his likeness, and certainly not of commercial child pornography depicting him.According to Rolling Stone, the man who claims he was the baby featured on the cover of NIRVANA's "Nevermind" album has refiled his lawsuit against the band, a little over a week after a judge dismissed his initial complaint. And, fortunately, I don’t have to do the paperwork.”īack in August, Elden filed a lawsuit against the band, seeking $150,000 in damages. When asked about the lawsuit, Grohl told the magazine: “I think that there’s much more to look forward to and much more to life than getting bogged down in those kinds of things. Nevermind’s cover features a naked 4-month-old Elden in a swimming pool reaching for a dollar bill. Grohl’s comments come just over a month after Nirvana was sued by Spencer Elden, the man who as a baby was famously featured on the album’s cover, for child sexual exploitation. I’m sure we’ll come up with something good.”
“I have many ideas of how we should alter that cover, but we’ll see what happens,” he said.
In a recent interview with The Times Magazine, Dave Grohl revealed that future Nevermind reissues could potentially come with different artwork. Thirty years after the release of Nirvana’s landmark 1991 album Nevermind, it looks like the band may be forced to change the LP’s iconic cover.
