Justin Bieber performed in Kurt Cobain's hometown of Seattle this week, and impersonated him to a borderline uncomfortable extent. Watch footage from the show below.

Bieber, who was born the same year the Nirvana frontman died, took to the stage wearing a Kurt Cobain t-shirt with a checked shirt over the top, in double homage to the grunge icon.

He also had his newly bleached blonde hair styled similarly to Cobain, and - as Alternative Nation reports - even performed an acoustic version of 'Love Yourself' seemingly inspired by Nirvana's world famous 1993 MTV Unplugged performance.

Unsurprisingly, the move hasn't gone down well with all Cobain fans. Particularly after Jaden Smith tweeted, "Kurt Cobain Is Still Alive, He Lives In The Souls Of The Youth."
