John Mayer performs cover of Beyoncé's 'XO'

ADELAIDE, Australia, April 17 (UPI) -- John Mayer covered Beyoncé's "XO" at his concert earlier this week in Adelaide, Australia.

The 36-year-old singer performed an acoustic rendition of the song to audience applause during his concert on Tuesday evening.

The star had expressed admiration for Beyoncé and "XO" on his Twitter only days before.

The best thing about Beyoncé? The break in her voice on the first "baby, love me lights out" in XO. Real and raw.
