Hayley Williams joins Deftones to perform ‘Minerva’ at Nashville concert

Deftones welcomed Paramore’s Hayley Williams for a live performance of ‘Minerva’ during their show at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena last night.

The collaboration took place during the encore of Deftones’ 20-song set on 26th March, where they are currently touring North America with The Mars Volta. Williams joined the band for their performance of ‘Minerva’, taken from their 2003 self-titled album, before Deftones concluded the show with ‘Bored’ and ‘7 Words’. The appearance marks Williams’ second time performing with the band, following a 2010 rendition of ‘Passenger’ from Deftones’ album ‘White Pony’.

Deftones are currently working on new material, with vocalist Chino Moreno providing an update on their forthcoming album. “We have a whole record recorded all musically,” says Moreno. “And it’s pretty much my job right now to finish up the vocals. We’re not really in a rush. We want it to be great. I think that’s most important. But it is coming, and, yeah – it’s really good.”
