Rod Wave, fresh off bagging the first No. 1 album of his career, brought “Tombstone” to the Tonight Show on Wednesday.
The performance of the SoulFly cut sees Wave backed by a trio of supporting vocalists and a pianist, all running through the track—which was first teased on Instagram Live last year—from a porch cinematically set on the water. Seemingly, this special Tonight Show-ified take on the SoulFly single was filmed in Florida.
In March, Wave shared the official “Tombstone” video, directed by Reel Goats.
