Levine appeared this weekend at Howard Stern’s annual birthday celebration in New York. With rock band Train as his back up group, Levine dutifully sang the classic song and even performed its famous guitar solo.
”[I’ll remember] just the great times that we had and just constantly being inspired by how he did things his way [and] never let anybody deter what he wanted to accomplish creatively and musically,” Levine told People following Prince’s death last Thursday.
“As a musician, I can’t tell you how much that’s rubbed off on me.”
