Nirvana's Reunion, Dr. Dre's Cali Cameo, Lady Gaga's Show-Closer & More of the Best Photos From FireAid Benefit Concert
With a lineup of 27 legendary acts across two venues to raise money for wildfire victims and rebuilding efforts, Thursday night's FireAid benefit concert was poised to be an epic night. But what transpired at the Kia Forum and Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, turned out to be even more historic than anyone could have expected. The most unexpected part of the night came from the unannounced reunion of the surviving members of Nirvana — drummer Dave Grohl and bassist Krist Novoselic, along with touring guitarist Pat Smear — plus a revolving door of female vocalists (lovingly dubbed 'Hervana'). They started out with St. Vincent for 'Breed,' then Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon for 'School,' followed by Joan Jett on 'Territorial Pissings,' and finally Dave's 18-year-old daughter Violet Grohl for 'All Apologies.' The performance needed (and got) no introduction, as audience members at the Forum and at home pieced together what they were witnessing in real time.

Two sets later, Dr. Dre joined Anderson .Paak (as well as drummer Sheila E.) for 'Still D.R.E.' and the ever-appropriate 'California Love.' Also, Dawes welcomed Stephen Stills and Mike Campbell of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers for Buffalo Springfield's 'For What It's Worth,' and Stills hung around when buddy and bandmate Graham Nash joined for Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's 'Teach Your Children.' John Fogerty popped up with The Black Crowes for Creedence Clearwater Revival's 'Have You Ever Seen the Rain,' while Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash joined the rock band to cover Led Zeppelin's 'Going to California.' Jelly Roll welcomed Travis Barker on drums to cover Bob Seger's 'Hollywood Nights'; and Sting returned to the stage to join Stevie Wonder for 'Superstition' and 'Higher Ground,' which also included Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea on bass. And that's just what wasn't on the stacked lineup in advance. We also got P!nk covering Led Zeppelin and Janis Joplin, Lady Gaga debuting the one-night-only new song 'All I Need Is Time,' Joni Mitchell bringing the emotional weight with 'Both Sides Now' and much more.

Lady Gaga Debuts New Song Co-Written With Fiance Michael Polansky During FireAid Concert Finale
After almost six hours of FireAid, Lady Gaga ended the historic Los Angeles event by debuting a new song co-written with her fiance Michael Polansky, an upbeat number that she said was 'just for tonight.' Gaga kept the theatrics to a minimum following a night stacked with spectacle, remaining behind the piano with a backing band for the performance. She began with 'Shallow,' her hit from her 2018 film 'A Star Is Born,' taking a moment to address the crowd and explain how despite the devastation in Los Angeles, it's created a moment of unity.

'This has been a horrible, scary time, but during these times, I feel like people come together and we see how much we need each other. And I want to always remember us just like this.' After a piano rendition of piano renditions of 'Always Remember Us This Way,' she introduced the new song — potentially titled 'All I Need Is Time' or 'Time Is a Healer' — by explaining that she wrote it specifically for FireAid with Polansky. 'When I was thinking bout what to sing tonight, I thought I'd do something hopeful for you, and I was thinking about y songs and nothing seemed quite right,' she said. 'So me and my friend Michael, my fiance, my love, we wrote this song for you. It's just for tonight, it's just for you. I think we all need a lot of things right now, but I think something we also may need is time. Time is a healer.' What followed was a bouncy tune with an uplifting message. 'Wish that God would find a different way to remind me what it's like to pray / Wish that I could turn this storm around and I cannot find a different way,' she sings leading into the chorus. 'All I need is time, all I need is time / All I need is time to heal my broken wings and then I'll soar / All I need is time to leave it all behind / All I need is time to leave it all behind and keep moving forward.' Gaga is gearing up for the release of her upcoming album 'Mayhem,' out on March 7. She capped off an evening that featured a concluding run of performances from Sting, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stevie Wonder, Billie Eilish, Peso Pluma and Olivia Rodrigo. Other artists who graced the stages at Intuit Dome and Kia Forum included Green Day, No Doubt, Graham Nash, Dawes and more. FireAid benefitted relief efforts for those impacted by the Los Angeles wildfires, which burned through much of the Pacific Palisades, Altadena and Malibu. Proceeds went toward initiatives via the Annenberg Foundation.
