JACK Ü, LCD SOUNDSYSTEM & MORE PAY TRIBUTE TO PRINCE
AT COACHELLA
Following the tragic death of Prince this past Thursday, and Coachella this weekend, it would seem odd if there weren’t a few tributes to legendary musician. Most of the acts finishing up the night chose to take a moment to pay tribute to the fallen legend, among them LCD Soundsystem, Sufjan Stevens and Jack Ü.
While Jack Ü brought out AlunaGeorge earlier in the night as their sole special guest, they chose to end their set with a tribute to Prince, changing the lights purple and emblazoning their new stage design with Prince’s iconic logo.

LCD Soundsystem took a more direct approach, covering the singer’s song ‘Controversy.’
Meanwhile, Sufjan Stevens brought out Gallant to perform ‘Purple Rain.’
