'Them Bones' - Post Malone covers Alice in Chains classic
Updated | By Tamlyn Canham
Music lovers are praising Post Malone's "pretty cool cover" of an Alice in Chains song.
Post Malone is putting his own spin on a rock classic. The musician performed a cover of 'Them Bones' during a recent episode of 'The Howard Stern Show'.
The song was originally recorded by American rock band Alice in Chains in 1992.
Post Malone, whose real name is Austin Richard Post, was joined by a choir for the live performance. He also played his guitar.
Alice in Chains was made up of members Jerry Cantrell, Sean Kinney, and Mike Starr. Late singer, Layne Staley, served as the band's lead singer.
Mike Inez and William DuVall were also part of the band.

Howard praised Post Malone for his great cover of the song. "I love this choir with you and the band. I mean, it's a lot of fun to watch," he said.
Viewers couldn't agree more.
"That was just great. The choir bit at the end just shows how melodic and soulful Layne was as a singer. Totally works," one YouTube user wrote.
Another user added: "This just shows how talented and powerful Alice in Chains are, and harmonies between Staley and Cantrell [were] something magical and special. Post and Choir sound amazing."
