At Coachella in 2008, the late musician Prince had covered Radiohead’s 1993 hit “Creep.”
Prince is known for keeping a tight lid on his music online, and files numerous copyright infringement letters to make sure his music isn’t on YouTube.
The video of his cover of Radiohead was repeatedly taken down after it was uploaded online.
In an ironic twist, after Prince had YouTube remove video uploads of his performance, Radiohead tried to get the video back online.
“Really? He’s blocked it?” asked Thom Yorke after he heard about the incident, according to Billboard. “Surely we should block it. Hang on a moment.” Yorke added, “Well, tell him to unblock it. It’s our ... song.”
Prince had even blocked official photographers from taking pictures of his 2008 Coachella performance for the first three songs.
The singer passed away earlier this week.
