Frances Bean Cobain covers Jimmy Eat World, makes mom Courtney Love proud

Frances Bean Cobain can really sing!

The 23-year-old daughter of the late Kurt Cobain shared a short video to Instagram on Sunday of herself strumming along and singing a line of Jimmy Eat World's 2001 hit, "The Middle."

"Fred Flintstone sings 4 seconds of The Middle by Jimmy Eat World," Frances captioned the video, highlighting her "Flintstones" fashion.

While brief, Frances' video caught the attention of her mom, Courtney Love, who reposted it to her own Instagram and offered an incredibly sweet message of praise.

"I know your father is very proud of this as am I baby," the 52-year-old musician wrote. "I love you to the moon and back ❤️❤️ #proudmommy."

Kurt, who was the lead singer of the rock band Nirvana, died in 1994, when Frances was less than two years old.

Meanwhile, although the mother and daughter have at times had a tumultuous relationship, they were spotted out together in March, after Francis filed for divorce from her husband of less than two years, rocker Isaiah Silva.
