On this day in Rock history, the legendary and never forgotten Prince covered “Creep” by Radiohead at the 2008 Coachella Festival. Around this time, there were several rumors that were constantly spread about Prince headlining multiple festivals. These rumors concluded to be false, until one magical night that occurred in the summer of 2008. As we all know, The ArtPrince was one of the best performers to ever do it in the music industry. He earned that title through his passion and affection for music and never allowing his performances to be anything shy of perfection.

With his unique voice and unparalleled instrumentals, Prince never turned down an opportunity to cover another artists song and add in his Purple flavor to it. Seizing the moment of serendipity, the Purple One  treated fans to an array of covers. From Santana to The Beatles, and Sarah McLachlan (“Angel”). With these unforgettable covers along with Prince’s other widespread hits, this performance was one for the books. ​​
