Watch Chris Stapleton Perform & Fred Armisen’s David Bowie Tribute On SNL

Mountain-man country star Chris Stapleton was the musical guest on past weekend’s Adam Driver-hosted episode of Saturday Night Live, where he performed “Parachute” and “Nobody To Blame” off of his debut album Traveller. The episode also featured a tribute to the late David Bowie, with former cast member Fred Armisen appearing to introduce footage of Bowie’s 1979 SNL performance of “The Man Who Sold The World.” Armisen spoke of how the performance impacted him personally. “When I was in high school and living in Long Island, I stayed up to see David Bowie play on Saturday Night Live. Watching him, for me, was a life-changing experience. David Bowie transformed whatever space he was in, whatever medium he was using, and that night for me, he transformed live television.” Watch below.
