Justin Bieber continued his not-so-subtle Kurt Cobain references in Sacramento last night (17 March), when he performed inside a heart-shaped box. Sort of.

Bieber, who was born the same year the Nirvana frontman died, first raised eyebrows when he performed in Cobain's hometown of Seattle earlier this week. He 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.

Now, he's further enraged purists and pedants by performing 'Mark My Words' while standing inside a clear box imprinted with a hand-drawn heart. Consequence Of Sound are truly irate.
