  British rock band Coldplay and Late Late Show host James Corden paid tribute to the late singer Prince by covering his hit single ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ during the band’s concert at Los Angeles’ Rose Bowl according to Rolling Stone.

  Before their powerful performance, Chris Martin, the lead singer of Coldplay teased the audience with a made-up story about how James Corden was once a member of the British rock band.

  “What people don’t know is that there was another guy that we all met and we all thought was the most talented member, and he was so good that if he had been in our band forever, we’d be the best band you ever knew. But instead he chose to forge his own path,” Martin said in introducing Corden.

  After introducing Corden he said to the crowd, “So this is an idea that Chris said to me, he said ‘I think you should come sing this at the Rose Bowl.’ I’ll be honest: I didn’t know how big it was when I said yes.”

  “Nothing Compares 2 U” is the third Prince song Chris Martin and company have covered since the late icon’s death on April 21st.
