Watch Sia’s Rare Live Performance on 'The Ellen Show'

Aussie singer-songwriter Sia has made a rare live appearance on US talk show The Ellen Show, re-creating the film clip for her latest single Chandelier.

The artist was joined by the young star of her current video, 11-year-old Maddy Ziegler (of Dance Moms fame), who acts out the amazing dance sequence from the clip, while Sia sings. You don't actually see Sia front-on – even when Ellen chats to her quickly at the end – but this isn't all that surprising given her penchant for staying out of the limelight.

It does though makes for a pretty incredible and intriguing performance – watch it below:

Sia had previously said she would be doing no promotion or touring for her new album, 1000 Forms Of Fear, which is out in July, so it's up in the air as to whether this appearance is a one-off.

The record drops on Friday 4 July through Monkey Puzzle/Inertia.
