Last night D'Angelo took to The Tonight Show to pay tribute to Prince with a touching cover of "Sometimes It Snows In April".
The R&B star was joined by Maya Rudolph and Gretchen Lieberum - aka Princess - for the piano ballad.
The poignant 1986 track, which concerns grief and death, has been particularly widespread since Prince's sudden passing last week, partly due to the track's sombre nature, and partly due to the fact that it's actually April.
Watch D'Angelo and Princess' version of "Sometimes It Snows In April" below.
