Elden’s lawsuit claimed the image on the cover was taken and used without his consent and the nudity amounts to an image of child abuse.Īs well as Grohl, Novoselic and Love, defendants to Elden’s lawsuit include Cobain, who died in 1994 music managers Guy Oseary and Heather Parry, who manage Cobain’s estate photographer Kirk Weddle art director Robert Fisher Nirvana’s original drummer Chad Channing (who was replaced by Grohl long before “Nevermind” was conceived of and released) and a variety of record companies (including some that are now defunct) that handled the album in some capacity since its release in 1991. Last year, Spencer Elden - the baby pictured naked on the front of the album - sued a number of individuals and companies associated with the record including Nirvana band members Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic as well as Kurt Cobain’s widow Courtney Love, who is the executor of Cobain’s estate. A judge has dismissed the lawsuit filed against the surviving members of Nirvana over the cover image of their iconic album “ Nevermind.”
