Miley Cyrus was one of many guests at the second of two Foo Fighters tribute concerts to Taylor Hawkins in Los Angeles on Tuesday night, where she teamed up with Def Leppard for a rendition of the band’s 1983 hit “Photograph.”
During the performance, Cyrus went back and forth with Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott while demonstrating the rock and roll vocal chops she’s shown many times before while covering the likes of Metallica, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and Moreover.
With them on stage were Dave Grohl (of course), Weezer drummer Pat Wilson and Foos guitarists Pat Smear and Chris Shiflett, who had joined Def Leppard to perform “Rock of Ages”. According rolling stoneSmear told the crowd that he came to the venue to hear Def Leppard perform that same song in 1983.
Check out fan-shot footage of both performances below.
Cyrus previously paid tribute to Hawkins at Lollapalooza Brasil shortly after his tragic death in late March. While dedicating his set to the drummer, Cyrus performed “Angels Like You” with a photo of himself displayed in the background.
Other highlights of the concert include the surviving members of Nirvana and Soundgarden performing together; Alanis Morissette playing “You Oughta Know”; Rush’s Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson teaming up with Grohl, Chad Smith and Danny Carey; and appearances by members of Black Sabbath, Metallica, Van Halen and Mötley Crüe.
