Nevermind is Nirvana’s second and most commercially successful album, released on September 24, 1991. Immediately after its release, the band gained the status of a world rock star.

Elden’s legal representatives claim that the photo on the album cover is classified as child pornography, so their client has sued members of the group for child sexual abuse. The young man also claims that his parents have not been asked for permission to use the photo, nor have they been paid for it. The photo was taken in a public pool.

Spencer has said that he suffers all his life because his nude photo has been visible to the whole world for 30 years. He has demanded $ 150,000 in “pain money” from each living member of the Nirvana group.
