Yesterday (21 October) marked 10 years since the passing of Elliott Smith, with a memorial show taking place in New York to mark the occasion.
Two of the performers were Sky Ferreira and Zachary Cole Smith of DIIV, with live footage emerging of the pair performing an acoustic rendition of Smith’s ‘A Distorted Reality Is Now A Necessity To Be Free’.
Watch that below. Meanwhile, Badly Drawn Boy reportedly threw out a heckler at the London tribute gig.
