Nirvana are being sued for child sexual exploitation over the iconic 'Nevermind' artwork
Elden also claims the grunge band promised to cover-up his genitals with a sticker, but it was never incorporated on the classic art.
Now, 30 years later, the famous photo has created a lifetime of troubles for Elden, the docs claims, and he allegedly wants at least $150,000 from each of the band members or, in Cobain’s case, the late singer's estate. He's seeking damages, attorney fees, an injunction to prohibit all parties “from continuing to engage in the unlawful acts and practices described herein,” and a trial by jury,, based on its reporters' own review of the documents. The lawsuit also names photographer Kirk Weddle and the labels behind its release.
“The permanent harm he has proximately suffered includes but is not limited to extreme and permanent emotional distress with physical manifestations, interference with his normal development and educational progress, lifelong loss of income earning capacity, loss of past and future wages, past and future expenses for medical and psychological treatment, loss of enjoyment of life, and other losses to be described and proven at trial of this matter,” the lawsuit reads.
It was funded by $120,000 of Geffen money -- almost twice its original budget, and more than 200 times Nirvana’s budget forNevermindfrom No. 1 on the Billboard 200 dated Jan. 11, 1992, the album was entered into the National Recording Registry in 2004 and, ten years later, Nirvana was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, in 2014.
