But before her appendix flared up, she made it to BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge in London to record a session. As of now, that session is live.

Phoebe Bridgers had to delay several UK shows due to appendicitis, but she made it to BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge in London for a recording session. On the session, she performed her single "Lost Boys" and "Bobby," a new fan favorite. This is the first public performance of "Bobby," as phones have been prohibited from Bridgers' recent shows.
In addition to her originals, she covered Nirvana's "Lithium," a hit from their album Nevermind. Bridgers has a notable connection to Nirvana, as her supergroup boygenius recreated a famous Nirvana Rolling Stone photo for their own cover and later, Dave Grohl joined them for a performance. The Live Lounge recording of "Lithium" and "Bobby" is featured below.
