May 04, 2016 Mac DeMarco By Christopher Roberts

Prince passed away at his home on April 21 and the Prince tributes and covers have been fittingly constant ever since. Now Mac DeMarco has covered “It’s Gonna Be Lonely,” from Prince’s self-titled 1979 album. Pitchfork has posted a video of DeMarco performing the song with bandmate Jon Lent on the shore of Far Rockaway Beach, where DeMarco lives. Jim Larson shot the video. Watch it below, followed by two Prince-related Instagram posts from DeMarco. (Also read our recent Best of 2015 Issue article on DeMarco.)

We lost a true hero of mine the other day. Although it’s sad, I’m sure he’s ripping a hot solo right now in the next dimension. RIP. Got a #treat in his #honor #comingsoon
