Video: Michael Stipe pays tribute to David Bowie

Michael Stipe appeared on the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon last night to perform an exquisite version of David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold The World." Watch Stipe's stirring performance (and mesmerizing beard) below:



Stipe's performance was a warm up for two Bowie tribute concerts happening in New York this week -- Thursday, March 31st at Carnegie Hall and Friday, April 1st at Radio City Music Hall. Friday's tribute streams live courtesy of Skype and is expected to include performances from Stipe, J Mascis, Perry Farrell, Pixies, Debbie Harry, and more (lineup for the show is subject to change). Proceeds from the live stream benefit various music related charities. Find out more here.
