The pop star wore the t-shirt at the American Music Awards.

Justin Bieber has caused stir after wearing a Nirvana band t-shirt on the red carpet. The Canadian singer attended the American Music Awards on Sunday (22 November 2015) wearing the grunge band's shirt on the red carpet.

Naturally, it ruffled a few feathers, and music fans weren't having any of it. This guy suggested Nirvana frontman Kurt was rolling in his grave.

 

One fan accused him of not knowing enough about band's music.

 

While suggested he was just copying Kanye.

 

However, Kurt Cobain's widow, Courtney Love, has come to the singer's defence, tweeting that he was "cool" in her book. 

 

It's not the first time Bieber's caused sartorial offence, wearing a Metallica T-shirt earlier this month on the Ellen De Generes show.

 

Metal fans weren't amused about it.

 

This fan didn't seem to mind though.

 

JB's not the only celebrity that's come a cropper for his choice of tee. Kim Kardashian and Kanye have both rocked Ramones T-shirts this year.

 

Nothing wrong with Smells Like Teen Spirit...
