MANILA, Philippines – There's no denying that Adele's "Hello" is sad, but watching a sad clown singing it might be even worse.
To celebrate Halloween, Joe Jonas and his band DNCE covered the hit song in full sad clown getup, complete with colorful tears, rainbow wigs, and downturned lips.
The visuals may be distracting, but the cover itself is great, with Joe showing off his vocal range as he belts out Adele's heartbreaking song.
DNCE comes two years after the Jonas Brothers' breakup in in 2013, and is described by Rolling Stoneas a "funk-pop" group. They released their EP SWAAY on October 23. Have a listen to a sampling below:
