  • Watch Prince Sit In with Jazz Band to Play 'With a Little Help from My Friends' at W Hotel in Los Angeles [WATCH]

    We have another Prince sighting. Sunday night, Nov. 30, Prince randomly decided to crash a jazz band's performance of "With a Little Help from My Friends." According to "Spin," Prince was a guest at the W Hollywood Hotel's jazz night Sunday when he decided to come down from his viewing position to sit in with the band to play The Beatles standard "With a Little Help from My Friends."Prince, with his impossible coolness, took the performance from being a good one, to being something many of those in attendance will not be forgetting for a long time. Nobody seemed to mind at all and the band appeared to be quite happy with the situation, because normally unsolicited sit-ins are not accepted.It is cool to see a rock star who does not think they are above musicians who are not at their level of fame or have the same talent as them and are willing to spontaneously do creative things with those other artists.

    Ever since the end of 2013, Skrillex's attention has turned toward his own career, finishing his album "Recess" and his newly formed duo with Diplo, Jack U. This has left his other duo alongside Boys Noize — Dog Blood — to fall by the wayside and lie dormant during this time.In a cryptic new post on Boys Noize's Instagram, the German techno producer puts up an illustration with an odd mixture of drawings in the style of past Dog Blood artworks. It simply had the caption "#db." While it is not conclusive that the duo are coming back, especially with how involved they both are with their own work at the moment, it would be about time for Skrillex and Boys Noize to get the band back together to do some shows and make some music, via "Dancing Astronaut."
