Jimmy Fallon decided to give New York City Subway passengers a treat and bring them a free live performance of Maroon 5. The catch – no one knew it was them since they were heavily disguised. Singer Adam Levine and guitarist James Valentine accompanied by Jimmy Fallon on the tambourine stepped up in on a platform and started a cover of Queen’s “Crazy Little Thing Called Love.”
Now, while people walked by mostly uninterested in the performance, there were those who stood by wanting to hear this odd bearded band. After wrapping Queen’s hit, the masks went down and the crowd went absolutely crazy seeing The Tonight Show’s host and members of Maroon 5 in front of them. This supergroup then decided to treat the fans with an acoustic version of Maroon 5’s “Sugar.”

Maroon 5 recently released their sixth studio album titled Red Pill Blues, first one since 2014’s V. The album was recorded 2017, and features collaborations with SZA, Julia Michaels, LunchMoney Lewis, and ASAP Rocky. Red Pill Blues debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 list in the United States, but it failed to find success with the critics, who gave it mixed to average reviews.
The band also announced the Red Pill Blues Tour, in order to support the album, which is scheduled to begin on May 30, 2018. So far, only the dates for North America’s part of the tour have been revealed, where singer Julia Michaels will serve as a supporting act.
