Spotted on Rolling Stone:
Bruce Springsteen’s ongoing tour of Australia and New Zealand has featured some of the most surprising cover choices of his career, but he topped himself last night in Auckland, New Zealand when he walked onstage and kicked off the show with a rendition of Lorde’s “Royals.” His solo acoustic version made the song sound like it was originally cut during the Nebraska sessions, and he tweaked the lyrics slightly, singing “you can call me king bee” instead of “queen bee.”
