Get ready for an emotional journey as the legendary Elvis Presley is joined—through the magic of technology—by his daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, in a hauntingly beautiful duet that will leave you reaching for tissues.
In a moving tribute during a special event organized by Lisa Marie herself, the crowd was left speechless when a powerful music video lit up the screen. Featuring a touching rendition of “Don’t Cry Daddy,” the performance seamlessly blended Elvis’ iconic vocals with Lisa Marie’s heartfelt delivery, creating a virtual duet that felt both intimate and larger than life.
The video, filled with nostalgic images of Elvis and Lisa Marie from years past, added an extra layer of sentiment. But the most breathtaking moment comes when the two appear side by side on screen—singing in harmony, as if time had folded in on itself and father and daughter were truly sharing the stage.
The song choice couldn’t have been more fitting. “Don’t Cry Daddy” takes on a deeper meaning in this setting, transforming into a message of love, remembrance, and healing from a daughter still honoring the memory of her father through music—the very bond that forever connects them.
This digital duet is more than just a performance—it’s a tribute to love, loss, and legacy.
Watch the video below, and prepare yourself for an unforgettable emotional experience.
When Adam Lambert took the stage at the Avicii Tribute Concert, he didn’t just perform—he lit it up. Decked out in a striking pink suit and beaming with energy, Lambert gave fans a vibrant, unforgettable rendition of “Lay Me Down,” the funky dance-floor gem he originally co-created with Avicii.
From the first note, it was clear Lambert was in his element. With charisma pouring off the stage, he delivered a powerhouse performance that had the 55,000-strong crowd at Stockholm’s Friends Arena dancing and cheering right along with him. It wasn’t just a tribute—it was a celebration, and Lambert made sure every second of it honored Avicii’s legacy with style and soul.
Vocally, Lambert soared. “Lay Me Down” isn’t easy to sing—its high-octane melodies and intricate runs demand serious range and control—but Lambert made it sound effortless. His voice glided through the chorus with smooth precision, giving the song a fresh spark while staying true to the original spirit.
Fans were quick to show their appreciation. The performance racked up millions of views on YouTube and glowing comments poured in. “Adam’s one of the few artists who sounds even better live than on the record,” one fan wrote. Another added, “This is what a real performer looks like—vocals, presence, everything!”
The event, held on December 5, 2019, was more than a concert—it was a heartfelt tribute to Tim Bergling, better known as Avicii, who tragically passed away in 2018 at just 28 years old. Organized by the Tim Bergling Foundation, the night aimed to raise awareness and funds for mental health and suicide prevention, causes close to Avicii’s story. The lineup was stacked with talent, including David Guetta, Kygo, Rita Ora, Aloe Blacc, and more. Aloe’s moving rendition of “Wake Me Up” remains the most-watched performance from the night.
“Lay Me Down” was the result of a dynamic collaboration between Avicii, Adam Lambert, Nile Rodgers, and Arash Pournouri. The track, infused with Rodgers’ signature funk guitar licks, dropped in 2014 and became a dance anthem across Europe, earning Gold certification in Sweden and charting in several countries.
Adam Lambert’s tribute didn’t just remind fans of the musical magic behind “Lay Me Down”—it showed how timeless great artistry can be. His electrifying performance was a beautiful homage to a gone-too-soon visionary, and a reminder of the power music has to unite, uplift, and heal.
“Unchained Melody” has been reimagined countless times over the decades, with renditions by artists from all genres—some moving, some forgettable. Susan Boyle once stunned the world with her heartfelt version, and of course, there’s the iconic take by the Righteous Brothers. But when Elvis Presley sat down at the piano in 1977, something truly unforgettable happened.
In newly restored footage, The King delivers a breathtaking performance of the classic ballad, pouring every ounce of emotion into each note. Many fans and critics alike consider this to be one of the most powerful moments of his career—possibly even his finest.
At the time, Elvis hadn’t released a studio album in over a year. Under pressure from his longtime manager, Colonel Tom Parker, a camera crew was brought in to capture the magic for a television special and a live album. Despite his declining health, Elvis agreed. What followed became a poignant chapter in music history.
Taking the stage in Rapid City, South Dakota, visibly frail and short of breath, Elvis sat behind the piano and began to play. As his fingers touched the keys and his voice filled the room, everything else seemed to fade. The result was a raw, soul-stirring version of “Unchained Melody” that still resonates today.
This performance would tragically be one of his last. Just weeks later, the world lost Elvis Presley—but not before he reminded us of the sheer depth of his talent and spirit. The vulnerability in his voice, the passion in his delivery—it all created a once-in-a-lifetime moment that’s been etched into the hearts of generations.
Regardless of where your musical tastes lie, it’s hard to deny the brilliance of this final performance. Elvis may be gone, but through this powerful rendition, his legacy endures.
If you’ve never seen it—or even if you have—watch his 1977 performance and let yourself feel every emotion it stirs. It’s more than a cover. It’s a farewell, a masterpiece, and a reminder of why Elvis Presley will always be The King.
Celebrating the legacy of music legends is no small task, but Michael Bublé rose to the occasion with elegance and emotion during the 46th Annual Kennedy Center Honors on December 3, 2023.
Known for his silky-smooth vocals and timeless charm, Bublé joined an array of performers at the Kennedy Center Opera House to pay tribute to this year’s honorees. Among the celebrated icons was Barry Gibb, the last surviving member of the Bee Gees and a towering figure in pop music history.
To honor Gibb’s enduring influence, Bublé performed the Bee Gees’ beloved ballad “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart.” A song already rich with sentiment, Bublé’s rendition elevated it to new emotional heights, leaving the audience visibly moved. With every note, he brought tenderness and soul, capturing the spirit of the original while adding his signature flair.
Barry Gibb, seated among the audience, looked visibly touched by the tribute. His reaction was a testament to both the impact of the song and Bublé’s remarkable delivery.
The Kennedy Center Honors are held each year to spotlight individuals who have made lasting contributions to American culture through the arts. This year’s class of honorees was as diverse as it was distinguished, including legendary comedian Billy Crystal, acclaimed soprano Renée Fleming, trailblazing rapper and actress Queen Latifah, soul icon Dionne Warwick, and of course, the incomparable Barry Gibb.
While many performances stood out during the ceremony, Bublé’s heartfelt salute to Gibb was undeniably one of the night’s most unforgettable moments—a beautiful reminder of how music connects generations, genres, and hearts.
Penny Lancaster proved that love is still very much in the air between her and husband Sir Rod Stewart, as she serenaded the legendary singer with “Hopelessly Devoted To You” during a glamorous night out in London on Friday.
Amid whispers of tension in their 17-year marriage, the Loose Women star, 53, took to the mic at the launch of Hopelessly Devoted at The Ned, delivering a heartfelt rendition of the Grease classic while Rod, 79, watched on with pride and affection.
Dressed to impress in a figure-hugging floral gown, Penny was the picture of elegance, her signature blonde hair styled in soft, voluminous waves. Rod, never one to blend into the background, matched her flair with a striking black and silver suit, adding his own signature rock ‘n’ roll edge to the evening.
The couple looked smitten throughout the night, embracing and even teaming up for a karaoke duet, putting any rumors of marital discord to rest—at least for the time being.
The event was more than just a night of music and glamour. Created by Mark Aldridge, Hopelessly Devoted aimed to raise support for the Celia Hammond Animal Trust, a small charity in urgent need of funding to continue its work for animals in need.
Speculation about trouble between Rod and Penny has been circulating in recent months, following reports that the couple disagreed over their living arrangements. Rod, who previously vowed to leave the U.S. and return full-time to the UK, pulled his lavish £55 million Beverly Hills estate off the market, reportedly going back on a promise he made to his wife.
Penny, who juggles her roles on Loose Women, her work as a special constable in London, and life in the English countryside, has expressed her preference to stay in the UK—far from the glitz of Los Angeles and Rod’s extended Vegas residency.
Sources close to the couple claim that Rod is enjoying his time in the States, frequently hosting gatherings at his sprawling home and spending time with his grandchildren, while Penny is firm in her desire to remain in Britain. The couple, insiders say, have hit a standstill, with neither willing to budge—fueling rumors that their relationship is under strain.
Despite the speculation, Penny’s heartfelt performance and the couple’s united front at the charity event offered a glimpse of the enduring bond they share.
Whether they can bridge their transatlantic differences remains to be seen, but for one magical night in London, love took center stage.
Since her breakout victory on American Idol in 2005, Carrie Underwood has become a powerhouse in the music industry, dominating charts with country hits like “Before He Cheats” and “Jesus Take the Wheel.” But while her musical roots run deep in country and gospel, Underwood has long had a passion for rock—and she just proved it in the most unexpected way.
In a move no one saw coming, Underwood recently joined rock band Papa Roach on stage during their Rise Of The Papa Roach Tour stop in Las Vegas, leaving the crowd stunned and electrified.
As fans packed the venue expecting a night of classic Papa Roach energy, the show took an epic turn when Underwood emerged from backstage and joined the band for a fiery performance of their iconic hit “Last Resort.” With pyrotechnics blazing and the audience in full roar, Underwood’s raw vocals blended seamlessly with frontman Jacoby Shaddix, delivering a moment that quickly went viral. Even one of the venue’s security guards was caught on camera passionately singing along.
Videos of the moment exploded across social media, with one fan writing, “Carrie Underwood and Papa Roach? This is the collab I never knew I needed!” Another commented, “If this is the future of rock, count me in—this performance was insane!”
Still buzzing after the set, Underwood took to social media to share her excitement, saying she was “still in disbelief over this one.”
But the night held more surprises. Later in the concert, Underwood returned to the stage to perform “Leave A Light On” with Papa Roach—a powerful ballad with a mission. As they performed, screens lit up with a message of hope, displaying the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline number, 988, and the logo of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP).
The emotional duet wasn’t just about music—it carried a purpose. In a joint statement, Underwood and Papa Roach revealed that proceeds from the song will go toward suicide prevention efforts and mental health awareness, with royalties being donated to the AFSP in perpetuity.
They encouraged fans to visit AFSP.org to learn how to recognize signs of emotional struggle in loved ones, offering tools and resources for those in need of support.
This unlikely pairing between a country queen and a rock band not only lit up the Vegas stage, but also brought a powerful message of compassion and mental health awareness to the forefront—proving once again that music knows no boundaries.
Music giants Sir Mick Jagger and Eric Clapton have honored the late John Mayall, a monumental figure in British music, following his peaceful passing at age 90 in California, surrounded by loved ones. Widely revered as the godfather of British blues, Mayall’s influence rippled through generations of artists and helped shape the very DNA of rock music.
Mayall was best known for forming The Bluesbreakers, a legendary incubator of talent that launched the careers of icons like Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Fleetwood, and Mick Taylor. His deep devotion to the blues ignited a cultural movement and revived a genre that would go on to inspire some of the biggest names in rock history.
In a heartfelt video posted to X, Eric Clapton shared a deeply personal tribute, crediting Mayall with giving him the direction and purpose he desperately needed as a young artist. “He rescued me from oblivion,” Clapton said. “He taught me to listen to myself, to play with heart, and to chase the music I loved—no matter what anyone else thought.”
Sir Mick Jagger also reflected on Mayall’s impact, calling him a “pioneer” and recalling how he helped the Rolling Stones during a pivotal time. It was Mayall who recommended guitarist Mick Taylor to the Stones following the death of Brian Jones, ushering in a new era for the band.
Ronnie Wood called Mayall “a musical trailblazer for all of us,” praising his encyclopedic knowledge of blues and his role in nurturing a generation of guitar legends.
Mayall’s journey began in Macclesfield and grew from humble roots, inspired by the American blues records in his father’s collection. Self-taught on piano, guitar, and harmonica, he built a career on passion rather than celebrity. Despite never chasing commercial accolades, he remained a relentless force in music—recording, touring, and mentoring well into his late 80s.
His most famous work, the 1966 album Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton, is considered a cornerstone of British blues. The Bluesbreakers, under Mayall’s guidance, became a revolving door of future superstars, including Peter Green, Jack Bruce, John McVie, and Aynsley Dunbar. Even Mick Taylor, who later joined the Stones, spent his formative years under Mayall’s wing.
Mayall’s influence reached far beyond the UK. He relocated to the U.S. in the late ’60s, releasing the acclaimed Blues from Laurel Canyon, and continued pushing musical boundaries. Over the decades, he adapted his sound while remaining rooted in blues tradition.
His dedication was unwavering. In 1982, he briefly reassembled the Bluesbreakers with original members like Taylor and McVie. In 2008, he retired the Bluesbreakers name and led the John Mayall Band into a new era. Despite his low profile, he earned widespread respect for his authenticity and work ethic.
Mayall received an OBE in 2005, a Grammy nomination for his album Wake Up Call, and was honored with a second nomination in 2022 for The Sun Is Shining Down. In 2024, he was posthumously inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, which described him as a “visionary” and a “major influence on rock and roll.”
Fellow musicians echoed this sentiment. Steve Hackett, former Genesis guitarist, called him a “true champion of the blues,” while Joe Bonamassa paid tribute with a photo and a simple message: “Rest in Peace, my friend.”
Though Mayall never reached the mainstream fame of some of his protégés, his legacy is undeniable. His Bluesbreakers were more than a band—they were a movement. And Mayall, with his gravelly voice, fierce independence, and passion for the blues, was its unwavering heart.
He is survived by his six children—Gaz, Jason, Red, Ben, Zak, and Samson—along with seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
John Mayall once said, “I’ve never had a hit record. I never won a Grammy. Rolling Stone never did a piece about me. I’m still an underground performer.” And yet, few artists have shaped modern music the way he did.
Rest easy, John. The blues—and the world—will never forget you.
When Bruce Springsteen brought a burst of old-school folk energy to the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, the result was pure magic. The Boss, known for his heartland rock anthems and larger-than-life stage presence, took a joyful detour into traditional American roots music with a barnstorming rendition of “Pay Me My Money Down”—and fans across the globe couldn’t get enough.
With a mischievous grin and an acoustic guitar slung over his shoulder, Springsteen danced around the stage, leading a jubilant crowd singalong. His husky, spirited vocals brought new life to the age-old work song, while a powerhouse backing band—The Sessions Band, freshly reassembled for the occasion—delivered a foot-stomping performance packed with fiddles, accordion, and a brass section that blew the roof off.
Every member of the ensemble had a chance to shine, taking the spotlight for blistering solos as Springsteen hyped the crowd like only he can. It wasn’t just a concert—it was a celebration. One that resonated deeply online.
Though the performance took place back in 2006, it wasn’t until May 4, 2019, that Springsteen shared it with the world via his official YouTube channel. The response was overwhelming. With over 29.5 million views, fans flooded the comments with pure joy. One viewer gushed, “Makes this 92-year-old dance around the room. Let’s have more joy like this!” Another said, “If this doesn’t make you happy and put a smile on your face, nothing will!”
The performance also marked a new chapter for Springsteen’s folk revival project. He introduced a revamped Sessions Band to the world that day—a group he hadn’t performed with since the late ’90s. Their chemistry was instant, and the energy so contagious that it carried across multiple songs from the set, including the stirring opener, “O Mary Don’t You Weep.”
“Pay Me My Money Down” isn’t just a fun tune—it carries historical weight. It originated as a work song sung by Black dockworkers from the Georgia Sea Islands, and its roots trace back through generations of American folk tradition. The Weavers helped bring it to wider attention in the 1950s, but Springsteen’s version, released as the lead single from his 2006 album We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions, helped introduce the song to a whole new audience.
On tour, Springsteen often used the tune as his main set closer—a jubilant, freewheeling moment where the band could cut loose and the crowd could revel in the joy of pure, communal music.
When Brad Paisley steps onto the Grand Ole Opry stage, it’s never just another night—it’s an experience. A beloved member of the Opry since 2001, Paisley is known for delivering unforgettable performances, blending heartfelt country lyrics with lightning-fast guitar work that leaves the crowd cheering for more.
Over the years, Paisley has shared that legendary stage with some of country music’s biggest names—from Carrie Underwood to Keith Urban. But during his latest appearance on Tuesday, April 12, fans witnessed something truly unexpected: a cross-genre collaboration that turned the Opry upside down.
That night’s surprise guest? None other than rock and roll icon John Fogerty, the unmistakable voice and lead guitarist behind Creedence Clearwater Revival.
The two guitar legends joined forces for a powerhouse performance of “Proud Mary,” one of CCR’s most iconic tracks. Written by Fogerty himself, the song climbed to #2 on the charts in its original form and later took on new life through Tina Turner’s electrifying cover. At the Opry, Fogerty handled lead vocals while Paisley stepped back to let his guitar do the talking—adding a fresh, fiery edge to the classic hit.
Midway through the song, as Fogerty took a break, Paisley tore into a jaw-dropping solo that had the audience erupting in applause. It was a moment that showcased not only Paisley’s versatility but the electric chemistry between two generations of music royalty.
This unexpected collaboration bridged country and rock in the most thrilling way—and the standing ovation said it all.
Watch the full performance of “Proud Mary” below and see why the Opry still knows how to keep fans on their toes.
On November 13, 2022, the hallowed halls of Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium echoed with the sound of Southern rock history. Lynyrd Skynyrd, the legendary band that helped define a genre, celebrated 50 years of music with a powerhouse performance—one that would become even more poignant as the final appearance of founding member Gary Rossington.
Rossington, the last original Skynyrd member, passed away on March 5, 2023, at the age of 71. Just months before, he had taken the stage at the Ryman for one last electrifying night, playing fan favorites like “That Smell” and the eternal anthem “Freebird.”
The concert, filmed for a PBS special, was later released in theaters and is now available for streaming. The program captures not just a milestone, but a movement. As it aptly states, “Few bands have had the impact on creating a lifestyle that Skynyrd has with their fusion of blues rock and Southern hard rock swagger.”
From this historic night comes Celebrating 50 Years—Live At The Ryman, a live album set for release on June 27th. This commemorative collection includes performances with special guests Marcus King, John Osborne of The Brothers Osborne, Brent Smith of Shinedown, and Donnie Van Zant—honoring the band’s roots and enduring influence.
One of the most emotional highlights of the evening is a reimagined version of “Tuesday’s Gone,” featuring breakout artist Jelly Roll. First released in 1973 on the band’s debut album, the song gets a new life as Jelly Roll joins Skynyrd onstage for a performance soaked in raw emotion and reverence. The band wrote:
“Experience the soul-stirring moment when Jelly Roll joined Lynyrd Skynyrd on stage for an unforgettable performance of ‘Tuesday’s Gone.’”
With this release, Skynyrd doesn’t just mark five decades—they remind the world why their legacy continues to resonate across generations.
