Some devastating news hit the music community as word spread about Prince’s death at the age of 57. Multiple artists spoke about his passing on social media sites expressing their condolences and grief. It was clear to all that Prince was nothing short of a legend to the industry and he will never be forgotten. With Coachella weekend two occurring over the weekend, many were wondering who would pay tribute to the king during their live performances. Many artists decided to step up to the plate and pay tribute, a favorite here at RisingMusicTalent.com decided to do it twice. Gallant got tweeted by a fan earlier in the day asking if he would pay tribute to Prince and he replied, “There is absolutely nothing that an amateur like me could EVER do that would even come close to tribute enough.” Gallant proved himself wrong when himself and Jhene Aiko covered Prince’s “Diamonds and Pearls” at the end of Gallants set. Later in the night, Gallant also joined Sufjan Stevens to cover Prince’s “Purple Rain” to end the set. It’s clear as one of the greats passes another one is stepping up to fill their shoes. Gallant is one of the most popping artists of 2016, I have said it before and I’ll say it again, don’t expect to hear the end of Gallant anytime soon – this kid is the real deal. Check out the videos below of the tribute to Prince at Coachella and see for yourself, this is pure talent.
