Analysis and Explanation

Originally performed by Nirvana, Lithium was performed at two gigs in April 2014 as a tribute to Kurt Cobain, since the dates of the shows fell on the 20th anniversary of Cobain's death in April 1994. Due to Matt still recovering from laryngitis at the time, Chris sang the higher chorus vocals and Matt did the verses and bridges. The band also played it in E-standard tuning (whole step up), compared to the original which was in D-standard. It was on the setlist of the third gig in April but wasn't played and it hasn't made any subsequent appearances since.

Due to the song likely only being played live due to the occasion, it looks near on certain that Lithium won't be played by Muse live again.
