(Radio.com) Never shying away from a tough cover song, Thirty Seconds To Mars took Rihanna's heart string-pulling "Stay" head on. With brother Shannon on the drums and Tomo Miličević on keys, Jared Leto belted out the pop princess' lyrics with conviction and scratchiness making the song his own during the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge session Tuesday (September 17). The trio also performed "Do Or Die" from their most recent release LOVE LUST FAITH + DREAMS.

BBC 1′s Live Lounge series boasts an impressive list of surprising covers dating back to 2005 as evidenced here. Selections from the band's 2010 Live Lounge performance is available as part of the 40-track Live Lounge Volume 2 collection for sale via iTunes and Amazon.

Thirty Seconds To Mars' current world tour takes a U.S. detour this fall, returning to foreign soil through 2014, wrapping up March 30 at Brisbane, Australia's Adventures In Wonderland Festival. Watch the video here.
