Watch Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump Perform For A Dog Rescue Fundraiser

Fall Out Boy frontman Patrick Stump performed an acoustic two-song set for a very good cause.

Patrick Stump was one of the special guests at this weekend's virtual Summer Shake Up fundraiser, an event which raised money for Chicago animal shelter One Tail At A Time. And not only did he delight fans with a Fall Out Boy classic during the performance, he also unveiled a surprise Van Morrison cover.

"Hi, everybody!" the singer and guitarist said as he was welcomed on to the stream. "I hope everybody's having a good time there in your home… because we can't go anywhere – none of us can. But let's raise some money for some dogs, ’cause I love dogs, and I would hope that you love dogs just like I do."

Then, Patrick proceeded to perform FOB's mega-single Sugar We're Goin' Down on his acoustic guitar, before then attempting a song by the legendary Northern-Irish singer-songwriter.

"I hope you like Van Morrison, by the way!" Patrick joked. "Let's see how this goes…" He then took on beloved folk-rock single Caravan, which is taken from Van Morrison's 1970 album Moondance.
