A Virginia Polytechnic student has stunned record label Sub Pop by requesting a video of support by rock act Nirvana.
Nirvana were grunge icons but ceased activities in 1994 when front man Kurt Cobain died in a Seattle garage from gunshot wounds.
The Seattle record label posted the letter from the student on its website.
They wrote: "Earlier today in the Sub Pop mailbag, we received an enthusiastic message from a college student running for homecoming queen. She asked for a video affirming support from our one time recording artists, Nirvana, in order to aid her campaign in becoming homecoming queen."
The letter requested the band - which also featured Dave Grohl on drums and Krist Novoselic on bass - supply the student with a "quick video" because "Virginia Tech loves Nirvana (and) we'd love to have her in our video" (sic).
