Mumford & Sons covered Nine Inch Nails‘ ‘Hurt’ during their live show last night – check out the clip below.

Marcus Mumford and the band, who are currently on the road in support of their latest album ‘Delta‘, were performing in Trent Reznor‘s home-city of Cleveland last night (March 9). During the gig at Quicken Loans Arena, the group offered up a rendition of Nine Inch Nails’ 1995 classic, ‘Hurt’.

As Mumford delivered its opening lines, the crowd welcomed the cover with cheers and applause. Beginning as a delicate ballad, Mumford & Sons’ version built to a climax of pounding piano chords and an anthemic guitar line.
