Lea Michele and Darren Criss took “Glee” fans on a trip down memory lane by performing The Human League’s “Don’t You Want Me” during a Facebook Live broadcast.
Criss joined Michele during the live event on Wednesday in which she promoted her upcoming album, “Places,” out on April 28. In the video, Criss played the guitar and sang with Michele. (Fans may recall that the duo performed the song during the second season of “Glee.”)
In another video, Michele sang her new song, “Getaway Car,” while Criss accompanied her on the piano. They also performed “Lost Boy Life” from Computer Games’s debut EP. Computer Games is Criss’ new band with his brother Chuck.
Michele and Criss starred on Ryan Murphy’s “Glee,” which ran from 2009 to 2015 and also starred the late Cory Monteith, Jane Lynch, Matthew Morrison, Naya Rivera, Mark Sailing and Heather Morris.
In January, Michele talked about her new single “Getaway Car” and how it related to Monteith, who died in 2013. Michele and Monteith were a couple at the time.
“We used to just get in the car and drive sometimes. Me and the tall guy and it was like our getaway and it was so great,” Lea shared. “You know, and everything was getting big and popular with ‘Glee’ and it was sort of our escape. So this next song is called ‘Getaway Car’ and its having that moment in the car.”

In the book, Rivera revealed that she had an abortion during a break from filming "Glee" in 2010. Rivera, who had broken up with actor Ryan Dorsey just weeks before discovering she was with child, opted to terminate the pregnancy in order to focus on her career.

Rivera also detailed the extent of her tension with "Glee" co-star Lea Michele, claiming that Michele "didn't like sharing the spotlight" and didn't say a word to Rivera throughout an entire season of the Fox musical series. “Lea and I definitely weren’t the best of friends,” Rivera wrote. Yeah, no kidding.

The actress' ex-boyfriend and former "Glee" co-star, Mark Salling, was arrested on child porn charges last year. Though the arrest occurred years after their breakup, Rivera wrote that it didn't come as a surprise to her. “I can’t say I was totally shocked," Rivera's memoir revealed.

Rivera also found time to point a finger at singer Ariana Grande, claiming that she caught Grande and her then-fiance, rapper Big Sean, together at Sean's house. (Actually, she only all-but-named Grande, referring to the interloper as "Smariana Schmande.")

In the book, Rivera reflects on former "Glee" colleague Cory Monteith, who died at age 31 in 2013 of combined drug intoxication after battling addiction. According to Rivera, Monteith's castmates were shocked to see Monteith drinking booze at a cast party, despite his struggle with substance abuse. "He noticed that we noticed," she wrote. "He explained that he wanted to be able to drink in moderation."
