Sam Smith covered songs by Amy Winehouse and Elvis Presley at his recent Lollapalooza set.

The British singer was performing with the Chicago festival on Saturday (August 1), dedicating a rendition of Winehouse’s ‘Tears Dry On Their Own’ on the late singer. See ‘Stay With Me‘.

Winehouse passed on aged just 27 in July 2011 from alcohol poisoning.

Following Smith’s Winehouse cover, the star was joined by backing performers, running via a medley of Motown hits and then Chic’s ‘Le Freak’. He also briefly covered Presley’s ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love’.
