Prince performed “Turn Me Loose” on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” on April 25.

Prince also made headlines with last night’s standout performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

At 11:11 p.m., Prince seemingly materialized out of nowhere, took his place at the center of Coachella’s main stage, and spoke: “Coachella, I am here. … Coachella, where are you?” Promising to rock the party only if he could choose the music, he added, “You’re in the coolest place on Earth right now,” and then set out to prove it.

After a few horn blasts, Prince — decked out in a flowing white jumpsuit with glittery trim and playing a Telecaster with a leopard-print pick guard — stepped aside and turned over the stage to his Purple Rain co-star and the Time singer Morris Day, who showed off some fancy legwork dancing along to “Jungle Love.” “What did I tell you!” Prince shouted at the crowd, pleased with his carefully orchestrated plans, before bringing out Sheila E. to play her 1984 hit “The Glamorous Life.” Satisfied that the crowd had been sufficiently warmed up, Prince slipped on a devilish grin and got the party started for real with “1999,” surrounded by a cadre of female backup singers in elaborate dresses. He next burst into the Chaka Khan version of “I Feel for You” and after asking the crowd if they dug the Eighties, played “Controversy,” erupting into one of nearly a dozen epic guitar solos played with the conviction of a man who knows he’s the best at what he does. His fingers slipping around the fretboard, Prince let his pick hand wander, dramatically sweeping across his face or around his instrument as he unleashed remarkably exaggerated guitar faces of pure rock ecstasy.
