Lana Del Rey kicked off her ‘Norman Fucking Rockwell’ tour last night (September 21) and during her set she performed a cover of Leonard Cohen‘s ‘Chelsea Hotel #2’.
Opening the tour in New York at the Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater, Del Rey was accompanied by the late musician’s son, Adam Cohen, as she performed the 1974 song.
‘Chelsea Hotel #2’ originally appeared on Cohen’s album ‘New Skin for the Old Ceremony’.
Elsewhere in the set, Del Rey covered Sublime‘s ‘Doin’ Time’ and was joined by Sean Lennon for their duet ‘Tomorrow Never Came’.
