Tributes and grief continue to pour out over the death of Tom Petty, who recently passed away on Monday. Now, pop sensation Kesha paid tribute to the rock icon at a show in Boston last night.
The pop singer performed a cover of Petty’s “Into the Great Wide Open.” Kesha talked a little before the performance, and what Petty’s song meant to her. “Not trying to be a downer,” she says, “but I think this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written and I wanna pay my respects.”
With hair blowing in the wind and only a guitar to back her up, Kesha dives into the classic Petty track to deliver a soft, melodic, and beautiful rendition. Check out the cover below, along with an original version of the song.
Kesha has been on a tear this year. After suffering from abuse and sexual harassment from producer Dr. Luke, and the difficult court case that followed (including deposition from Lady Gaga), Kesha has released some of her best and most impactful music with the release of her stellar album Rainbow, along with collaboration with Macklemore from his new album.
