It’s been several years since we’ve heard anything from Irish singer/songwriter Damien Rice, but the troubadour has finally broken his silence with his new album, My Favourite Faded Fantasy. To mark the album’s release, Rice stopped by The Late Show With David Letterman to give viewers a taste with a performance of his single “I Don’t Want To Change You.” Backed by a string septet, Rice capably showed that he hasn’t lost a step as a live performer, even with eight years off. You can watch the full performance below.
