Colbert Joins David Byrne for "Burning Down the House" on The Late Show

We’re down to the final few episodes of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert , and David Byrne helped him say goodbye on Tuesday night with a performance of Talking Heads’ classic “Burning Down the House.” Just like at his shows on his Who is the Sky? tour, David and his band had images of fire playing on screens behind them, and Colbert donned one of their all-blue outfits to dance with them at the end of the song. Watch below.

Bruce Springsteen is set to join Colbert tonight (5/20), and guests for Thursday are still to be announced. Stay tuned.

Byrne’s tour supporting his 2025 album Who Is The Sky? resumes in June, and includes an NYC show at https://www.axs.com/events/1415119/an-evening-with-david-byrne-tickets?skin=foresthills”>Forest Hills Stadium on September 19. See all dates below.
