Del Rey joined Adam Cohen for a performance of the late Canadian artist's song 'Chelsea Hotel No. 2'
Lana Del Rey joined Adam Cohen to perform a duet of a song by the latter’s late father, Leonard Cohen – watch fan-shot footage of the performance below.
Adam Cohen was among a host of acts who performed in a tribute concert for Leonard Cohen last night (November 6) in Montreal, Quebec, with the bill also including Elvis Costello, Feist, Sting and more. Cohen passed away in November 2016 at the age of 82.
During Adam’s set, the Canadian songwriter invited Del Rey on stage to perform his father’s song ‘Chelsea Hotel No. 2’, which featured on Cohen’s 1974 LP ‘New Skin for the Old Ceremony’.
Del Rey has covered the song in the past, recording her version back in 2013. The singer posted a tribute to Cohen following news of his death last year, writing: “I love you as a real fan and I always looked for a little bit of you in all of my future friends. God bless.”
