It's been a rough year for death taking some of music's greatest all-time icons, but at Prince's final concert, he paid tribute to fellow rock icon David Bowie with a beautiful cover. 

It was during the Purple One's show in Atlanta on Thursday 14 April, where he treated to crowd to a wonderful stripped-back cover of Bowie's staple, 'Heroes'. Check it out below.
