HBO has shared a new, hi-res clip of St. Vincent performing 'Lithium' alongside the reunited members of Nirvana. Watch it below.

The performance took place during this year's Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony, during which Nirvana were one of the bands honoured.

St. Vincent, (real name Annie Clark), has cited Nirvana as one of her musical inspirations. "Nevermind came out when I was 9, and it meant everything to me," she said to Rolling Stone magazine. "I know I wouldn't be playing music if it wasn't for Nirvana. It hit me as a 9 year old. Fuck yeah, it hit me!"

She added: "They haven't played these songs in 20 years, you just want to do your damnfest for those guys. But the real thing is that they changed people's lives. People's lives were better as a result of what those three, and eventually four, guys did.

"There was something in it, some sort of pain and anxiety and deep humanity that resonated with me... and it still resonates with me today."

Nirvana's reunion performance also saw the reunited Nirvana members (minus, of course, Kurt Cobain, who committed suicide in 1994) perform with Lorde, Kim Gordon and Joan Jett.

The full show of this year's Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony will be broadcast on HBO on 31 May in the US. There's currently no TV broadcast scheduled for the UK.
