The document calls “for an order dismissing this action, with prejudice” and “on the ground that it is barred by the statute of limitations.” Nirvana’s lawyers have now submitted a fresh notion for the case to be dismissed, saying in their legal papers: “This case must end.” Pitchfork quoted the lawsuit as, “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."Īccording to TMZ, Elden has filed a lawsuit against the two surviving members of the band as well as Kurt Cobain’s estate and wants them to each pay at least $150,000.The complaint lists Nirvana’s estate, Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, Courtney Love, photographer Kirk Weddle, Universal Music Group, Geffen Records and others as among the defendants. In his suit, Elden alleged that the band had made a promise to cover his genitals with a sticker but the promise was not kept when the final cover was out.
Tabloid newspaper TMZ obtained a new federal lawsuit according to which, Elden says that while he could not give consent to his image being used in the cover back in the day since he was just four months old, his legal guardians too did not give their consent.
30-year-old Spencer Elden, who claims to be the naked baby famously pictured in a swimming pool on Nirvana’s 1991 album cover, alleged that his guardians did not give consent to the image being used on the cover and that it violates federal child pornography laws. The baby on the cover of Nirvana’s Nevermind is all grown up and is now suing the band for alleged child pornography.
