Lithium was performed in April 2014 as a tribute to Kurt Cobain of Nirvana. The song appeared on all three setlists for 2014 but was skipped on the 04/19/2014 date. Chris sang the chorus vocals but Matt did the rest of the vocals. It did not make any appearances on the Drones tour and was only performed because of the occasion (the twenty year anniversary of Kobain's death). Of the two performances, the 04/05/2014 date is available in pro-shot quality, though the 04/12/2014 performance is available in a multicam and is, in general, a superior performance.
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.  


Lithium will probably never be performed live again by Muse.
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.

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.

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.
