We did it for Prince tonight!! However, I wanna also dedicate tonight’s performance to one of his greatest drummers, the funky @johnblackwelljr!! John is recovering from major surgery where he had tumors removed from his brain. I’m praying for your full recovery so you can grace us with that back beat once again! So tonight, I put that China cymbal up high for you!!! 🙏🏼 #Hooligans #Epanda #59thGrammys #PrinceTribute #instarepost20
