Muse played their first live gig of 2014 at Lollapalooza in Brazil this weekend, paying tribute to the 20th anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death by covering Nirvana classic 'Lithium' - check it out below. 

The Devonshire trio, who had to cancel a gig in the country earlier in the week due to 'illness', also alluded to their own 20th anniversary - sparking hopes of a commemorative tour by playing b-sides from their debut album Showbiz era, 'Agitated' and 'Yes Please'.

The Muse classic 'Muscle Museum' is reported to have been on their setlist, but replaced by 'Yes Please'. 

Introducing their cover of 'Lithium', frontman Matt Bellamy said: "Sorry, I've lost my voice. We've been together for 20 years,someone great died 20 years ago - this next song is for Kurt Cobain."
