Last night, Stipe warmed up for the weekend with a piano-driven rendition of "The Man Who Sold the World" on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. It's hard to imagine a world in which someone other than David Bowie sings this song to its full potential, but here we are, and Stipe's performance is nothing short of mesmerizing. Bowie ascended out of this world only a couple short months ago, but the emptiness he left is felt every day, which makes this performance all the more powerful.You'll be able to stream this weekend's concert for a donation to a non-profit.
