Prince's impromptu Oscar party sounds like it was well worth attending. Not only did the star host the event, but he also performed there with his band, covering hits by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and even Jimmy Eat World.
According to Rolling Stone, Prince took to the stage at around 1.45am, and proceeded to run through a two-hour set. This featured renditions of the Fab Four's Come Together and The Stones' Honky Tonk Women, plus perennial live favourite Play That Funky Music.
Jimmy Eat World's The Middle, from 2001'a Bleed American album, was the surprise cover of the night.
Reports prior to Prince's Oscar bash suggested that he was planning to put footage from the event on his new website, so we'll have to see what materialises.
