Hayley Williams welcomed Brazilian singer-songwriter Seu Jorge onstage in São Paulo, where the pair performed her song “Zissou” alongside his interpretation of David Bowie’s “Life On Mars.” The appearance was part of her “Hayley Williams Show” solo tour.

“Zissou” references the 2004 Wes Anderson film The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou. Jorge appeared in a small role in the movie and contributed acoustic versions of Bowie songs, sung in Portuguese, to its soundtrack.

The Paramore singer has been touring extensively as a solo artist, undertaking her first two solo tours back to back. Her initial run centered on the album Ego Death At The Bachelorette Party, while the “Hayley Williams Show” drew more broadly from her solo work.

The São Paulo concert followed the end of the latter tour’s American leg. Jorge was among the special guests who have joined Williams during her shows.
