Last night's Jools Holland (27 November) saw a rare performance from upcoming R&B artist The Weeknd, as well as a shaky rendition of 'Ride' from Lana Del Rey.

The Weeknd does not usually give interviews and very rarely performs live - although he did play a gig last week at London's Supper Club, to which fans could win tickets through a ballot.

The mysterious singer - who's real name is Abel Tesfaye - performed the track 'Wicked Games', taken from his upcoming Trilogy album.

Trilogy features remixed and remastered versions of the singer's past three mixtapes, as well as three new songs - 'Twenty Eight', 'Valerie' and 'Til Dawn (Here Comes the Sun)'.

Watch The Weeknd's performance below.

Lana Del Rey also appeared on the show, giving a disappointing performance of her single 'Ride'. Del Rey has previously had issues with live television appearances, most notably when she appeared on Saturday Night Live earlier this year.

She began her performance of 'Ride' by whispering inaudibly into the microphone, but seemed to get more comfortable as the song went on. However, at around 3:30, her vocals became noticeably shaky and she missed a lot of the high notes.

New stars The Palma Violets were also on Later... with Jools Holland, playing their song 'Best Of Friends'.

The band have their debut album due to be released in February 2013, through Rough Trade.
