Paul McCartney got a lot of attention for joining the surviving members of Nirvana at the 12-12-12 Concert for Sandy Relief last night.
Many suggested he was filling in for the deceased Kurt Cobain as part of a Nirvana reunion – and one very vocal critic was none too happy to see McCartney playing with Cobain’s ex-bandmates on the Madison Square Garden stage.

Cobain’s widow, Courtney Love, told TMZ that she was “not amused” by McCartney’s involvement.
During the show, McCartney took the lead for a new song called “Cut Me Some Slack” and generally received positive reviews.
However, Love told TMZ yesterday, “Look, if John [Lennon] were alive, it would be cool.”
Love also said that she was upset with Nirvana members Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic calling the performance a “reunion” because she says that Cobain was the heart and soul of the band.
