According to Revolver, Amy Lee of American rock band Evanescence has teamed up with Dave Stewart of British pop duo Eurythmics to cover Everly Brothers’ 1960 hit “Love Hurts.” The cover was debuted live at the Hey Doll Baby Festival on June 19.
In an Instagram post, Lee commented on their unique cover of the classic song, “SO, a bunch of legendary artists have come together and made tribute covers in honor of the incredible, timeless Everly Brothers. I’m very excited to announce that I’ve teamed up with the one and only Dave Stewart for a very special version of LOVE HURTS.”
