Nirvana reunite on stage with Post Malone for milestone SNL50 gig – in Dave Grohl’s second performance since his cheating scandal

Nirvana reunited on stage with Post Malone for a performance at SNL50: The Homecoming Concert in New York City on Valentine’s Day – marking Dave Grohl’s second time on stage since his cheating scandal.

Dave, 56, joined his bandmates Krist Novoselic, 59, and Pat Smear, 65, on stage as they performed as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations for SNL, without late singer Kurt Cobain.

It is the second time Dave has reunited with his bandmates in two weeks, after the group performed a four-song set at the Fire Aid concert in Los Angeles last month.

It also marked his second public performance after he revealed he cheated on his wife Jordyn Blum and fathered a secret love child late last year.

Taking to the stage, the iconic 90s band were joined by Post Malone, who took on the late Kurt’s job of lead vocals.

Malone – who memorably live-streamed a 15-song performance of Nirvana covers during the Covid pandemic – seemed to fit right in as he led a rendition of Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Aged 27, Kurt was tragically found ᴅᴇᴀᴅ in his Seattle home on April 8, 1994, with a self-inflicted sH๏τgun wound to the head. 

It is not the first time Nirvana have reunited in recent weeks as they also took to the stage to perform at the Fire Aid concerts after the devastating LA wildfires.

Dave was uncharacteristically silent behind the drum kit during the performance last month, leaving the introductions to Krist as he performed for the first time since his cheating scandal broke.

His daughter Violet Grohl, 18, filled in for the late Kurt Cobain on All Apologies off the band’s seminal 1993 album In Utero — months after it was reported she was not on speaking terms with her famous father.

Dave was choked up as he drummed along to the song while watching his eldest daughter performing for the sold-out and enraptured crowd.

Along with Violet, Dave, and his wife Jordyn — who wed back in 2003 — share daughters Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10.

Foo Fighters rocker Dave shocked fans in September when he confessed to cheating on Jordyn, 48, and welcoming a baby girl with an as-yet unnamed woman – revealing he was fighting to regain the trust of Jordyn and their three daughters.

Weeks later, Dave hired a divorce lawyer but quickly called it off in the hopes of ‘working things out’ with Jordyn, who he’s been married to for 21 years.

In their first sighting together since, the singer was pH๏τographed in the pᴀssenger’s seat of Jordyn’s black BMW on Sunday, February 9, as she drove them around Los Angeles.

The Nirvana alum, wearing a black baseball cap and black T-shirt, looked tense as he and Blum appeared to have a serious discussion inside the car.

The mother-of-three kept sunglᴀsses over her eyes and didn’t appear to be wearing her wedding ring as she spoke to her husband.

In his cheating confession, published to social media on September 10, Dave directly addressed his family while revealing to fans that he is now father to a baby girl, who was conceived outside of his marriage to Jordyn.

‘I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage. I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her,’ Dave announced to his 1.4 million followers on Instagram.

‘I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness.’

He concluded: ‘We’re grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together,’ he concluded the brief post.

Dave did not share any information about his fourth child’s mother in the post.

Following his announcement that he had fathered a secret love child, his two older daughters both took down their social media accounts.

Days later, his alleged relationship with porn publisher Annaliese Nielsen, 40, was brought to light, with her former friends telling DailyMail.com that she had a 15-year affair with the front man.

Jordyn reportedly ‘turned a blind eye’ to Dave’s behavior throughout their 21-year marriage.

‘Close friends believe she has turned a blind eye to Dave’s indiscretions for a long time,’ the insider told DailyMail.com at the time.

‘Now he has humiliated her in front of the world with his baby bombshell, she can no longer hide behind the facade of a perfect marriage.’

It was also rumoured that Dave had been arguing with Jordyn over her ‘flirty’ relationship with her married tennis coach Christopher Crabb, in what insiders claimed was an attempt to detract from his own indiscretions.

‘Dave Grohl has been jealous for ages about Jordyn’s H๏τ tennis coach,’ an insider previously told DailyMail.com.

‘They’ve had arguments about him, and Dave thinks they’ve flirted. Jordyn has told him he’s crazy to even think that. But Dave has persisted.’

Weeks after declaring in his Instagram admission that he was ‘doing everything’ he could to ‘regain [his family’s] trust,’ it was alleged that Dave  had retained a divorce lawyer prior to going public with the cheating scandal.

However, he walked back the decision in November, with a source telling PEOPLE that Dave wants to ‘work things out’ with Blum and that, for now, divorce is off the table.

They said: ‘He’s no longer working with a divorce attorney and instead hoping to work things out with his wife’.

A second insider said the star ‘loves his family’ adding: ‘Dave’s been prioritizing his family. He knows he messed up. 

‘It’s one of those situations where you don’t realize what you have until you’re about to lose it. He doesn’t want to lose his family.’

The sources also alleged that Jordyn had known about Dave’s baby ‘for a while’ and said she is a ‘great mom and very dedicated to their daughters.’

In another apparent sign that Dave and Jordyn may be trying to salvage their relationship, a source revealed to PEOPLE in December that the couple and their daughters spent Christmas ‘as a family’.
