The Roots back the funny guys through their spirited take on the viral sensation
When the Flaming Lips took the stage toward the end of the annual Tibet House benefit show at Carnegie Hall last night, there were none of the mirror balls or laser beams that typically end a Lips show -- but the band had a different surprise in store. After a stunning take on rarely played "Soft Bulletin" track "Feeling You Disintegrate," frontman Wayne Coyne invited composer Philip Glass to the stage's grand piano. "We've been rehearsing with him all day," Coyne said. "And he's pretty f--ing cool."
Musical powerhouses John Legend and The Roots collaborate on a new socially-conscious album. CNN's Denise Quan reports.
