Stars pay tribute to Prince at Coachella Weekend 2

What better place to play tribute to the sad passing of one of music's greatest innovators than at the mecca for 'music and arts' - Coachella.

Stars including Ellie Goulding, Sufjan Stevens, and LCD Soundsystem (reuniting for the first time since their split) all made touching tributes to the 57-year-old when they took to the stage this weekend.

Goulding kicked off several nods to the musical genius with a few bars from 'When Doves Cry'...

Sufjan Stevens' Purple Rain was beautiful...

Mavis Staples also brought the Purple Rain, but with slightly less falsetto...

Joey Bada$$ rockedĀ '1999'...

Jhene Aiko opted for 'Diamonds and Pearls'...

While we've saved the best for last with LCD Soundsystem covering 'Controversy'. We dare you not to shimmy at your desk or otherwise.

The amount of artists who chose to cover Prince is testament of the man's influence and brilliance. He may be gone but his music lives on!
