"Prince was in every way incomparable. But in his artistry, his musicality, and his ambition, he set the stage for all of us who follow," John Legend said before he began his performance. "Prince actually kept giving away this next song about being incomparable. He gave it away a few times to other artists, but somehow it kept coming back to him. Because as the record shows, nothing compares to Prince," he added. John Legend was joined by Chris Martin, Miguel, Gary Clark Jr., H.E.R., Usher, and other renowned singers who also paid tribute to Prince.
