Green Day side project The Coverups have paid tribute to Jerry Lee Lewis during a special gig this weekend.

The side project, made up of Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt, began in 2018 as a covers band. The group also features Green Day touring musician Jason White.

On Friday (October 28), the band performed a gig at Los Angeles’ Moroccan Lounge.

Of the 36 songs the band played, one included a rendition of “Great Balls Of Fire’ as a tribute to Jerry Lee Lewis, who passed away last week aged 87.

Lewis, the influential rock pioneer known for his songs ‘Great Balls Of Fire’ and ‘Whole Lotta Shakin’ Going On’ died of natural causes at home in DeSoto County, Mississippi, according to reports.

As well as paying tribute to Lewis, the band also performed covers of songs by The Cure, The Ramones, Nirvana, David Bowie and more.

Check out footage from the gig as well as the full set list below.
