Ryan Adams made his return to the stage last Thursday when he performed with Jesse Malin at The Hotel Cafe in Hollywood.

Onlookers said while Adams wasn’t exactly welcomed with open arms in his first appearance since his fall from grace because of sex misconduct accusations, it still was a good show with no outcry from audience members.

The group played tunes including “The Fine Art of Self Destruction,” “Solitaire,” and “Queen of the Underworld.”

Adams has been keeping a low profile since the 2019 sexual harassment and misconduct accusations from women including Phoebe Bridgers, his ex-wife, Mandy Moore and a teenager.

Malin and Ryan have been pals for years and Malin has stood by his friend.
