5 Seconds Of Summer Drop Surprise Live Album With Julia Michaels Collab

5 Seconds of Summer know what their fans want and they delivered it on Friday (December 21) with the surprise release of their live album, Meet You There Tour Live, which features several songs performed on their most recent trek and even a new version of "Lie To Me" featuring Julia Michaels.

Meet You There Tour Live includes plenty of cuts from 2018's Youngblood, but the 20-song set also features material from the Australian foursome's earlier catalog like "Jet Black Heart" and "She Looks So Perfect," as well as the new edit of "Lie To Me." For the just-released collab, listeners hear a different narrative to the song, with the famed singer/songwriter exploring her side to the love-struck concept. Fans can get their hands on a limited edition two-disc vinyl of the LP through January 18.

It's the latest in a string of ventures that the pop/rock group have delivered throughout the year. Back in October, the group joined the pack in celebrating the glorious legacy of Queen with a faithful cover of "Killer Queen." As part of the rollout plan for the Freddy Mercury biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody, the group churned out the rendition for more reasons than one. 

"We chose to cover 'Killer Queen' because we kept hearing it while writing our third album, Youngblood and were so enamored by the production and their early realization of the minimalist approach to the track," they said in a statement. "For us, the exploration of individual vocalists in a band is incredibly important and Queen helped us to see the future of how we want to sing, in addition to how we play our instruments. As a pioneer of individuality, Freddie taught us what it means to embrace the idea of truly being yourself and that’s a part of Queen that lives on in their music now, more than ever."
