During a livestreamed performance on Instagram TV, Jeff Tweedy performed a song in tribute to the late John Prine. He played “Please Don’t Bury Me” from Prine’s 1973 album Sweet Revenge: “Probably a little inappropriate,” he says about the song choice, “but celebratory as well, I hope.” Watch it below.
Dixie Chicks vocalist Natalie Maines also paid tribute to Prine on social media last night. Accompanied by her sons, she played a cover of Prine’s 1971 classic “Angel From Montgomery,” which appeared on his self-titled debut. Check out her performance on Instagram.
Following the news of Prine’s death last night, artists including Bruce Springsteen, Bon Iver, Margo Price, and more shared tributes to the iconic songwriter.
