Coachella definitely turned Purple this weekend. May artists who took the stage at the festival honored Prince and his legacy.
Usher has cited Prince many times as one of his main musical influences and he paid respect to the late icon with covers of ‘I Would Die 4 U’ and ‘1999’ during Major Lazer’s set. Ice Cube, Jhene Aiko, Dr. Dre, LCD Soundsystem and Jack Ü were some of the other performers who paid a tribute to the Purple One.
Since his death, Prince has sold in excess of 3.5 million albums and singles despite most of his music available only at select outlets. He currently holds the number 1 and 2 spots on the Billboard 200 chart.
