The Weeknd‘s album Beauty Behind the Madness features a duet with Lana Del Rey called “Prisoner”. Last night, during his concert at the Forum in Los Angeles, Abel Tesfaye brought out Del Rey to perform the song, as SPIN points out. Watch footage of their duet below.
In other Lana-related news, she revealed to NME that she would have recorded the theme song for the most recent James Bond movie, Spectre, but the filmmakers didn’t ask her. (The honor ultimately went to Sam Smith’s “Writing’s on the Wall”.)
“I would’ve done it if I was asked, but I wasn’t asked,” she told NME. “I love all of the Bond music that’s been put out over the years and I love soundtracks in general. There are a couple of songs on this record [Honeymoon] that have a Bond feel like ‘24’ and ‘Swan Song’.”
