Get ready for a thrilling musical journey as we dive into Dua Lipa's latest surprise collaboration! The pop sensation has been treating fans to a unique experience on her 'Radical Optimism Tour', covering local artists' songs in each city she visits. And this past weekend in San Francisco, she did not disappoint!
On Saturday, Dua Lipa belted out the iconic Janis Joplin classic, 'Piece of My Heart', paying tribute to a legendary voice. But here's where it gets even more exciting: on Sunday, she took it up a notch by performing Green Day's emotional ballad, 'Wake Me Up Before September Ends', with a very special guest - none other than Green Day's charismatic frontman, Billie Joe Armstrong!
The audience was in for a treat as Armstrong joined Lipa on stage, hugging her warmly before they harmonized beautifully together. Their voices blended seamlessly, with Armstrong's powerful shouts of 'San Francisco' adding an extra layer of energy to the performance.
But this wasn't the only surprise of the tour. Earlier in the night, Lipa honored another Bay Area legend by singing 'Piece of My Heart', a song made famous by the late Janis Joplin and her band, Big Brother and the Holding Company.
And if you thought that was all, think again! On previous tour stops, Dua Lipa has covered a range of iconic artists. She performed 'Don't Speak' with Gwen Stefani in Los Angeles, brought Aerosmith's energy to Boston, and even rocked out to AC/DC's 'Highway to Hell' in Australia.
This diverse range of covers showcases Lipa's versatility and her ability to connect with audiences through music.
The 'Radical Optimism Tour' is currently wrapping up its North American leg in Seattle this week, but the excitement continues as the tour heads to Latin America in November.
