Analysis and Explanation
Originally performed by Prince, Muse covered the song at two promotional gigs in 2012 which required the band do a cover song. The song was also given a surprise one off appearance at one of the main The 2nd Law Tour shows in Los Angeles in January 2013, but it made no subsequent appearances on tour and hasn't been played live since.
Prince himself died in 2016 aged 57, so as a tribute to him the band re-released their performance of the song at the BBC Live Lounge 2012 in greyscale. While song hasn't been played live since 2013, it was surprisingly an option at the 2017 London Shepherds Bush Empire by request gig, indicating the band are still willing to play the song again if requested.
