Toni’s virtual performance marked the first night of the Lolla2020 Virtual Festival. Her act was followed by past performances by Paul McCartney, LCD Soundsystem, Metallica, Jane’s Addiction, Run the Jewels, and Alabama Shakes along with new performances by H.E.R. and many more.

The music event, which switched over to a virtual festival due to the coronavirus pandemic, runs through August 2. Lollapalooza is partnering with When We All Vote, Equal Justice Initiative and Arts for Illinois Relief Fund over the Lolla2020 virtual weekend.

Toni’s stunning performance comes just a couple weeks after her late father’s cover of Guns N’ Roses’ “Patience” was released on what would have been his 56th birthday.

“His birthday seemed the perfect time to share this and celebrate Chris, his voice, music, stories and art. It is true a man is not dead while his name is still spoken … and, through his art, an artist’s soul still burns just as bright as ever upon all those that look up to him and his memory,” Chris’ widow Vicky Cornell wrote on Facebook about the cover.

Adding, “Releasing music that was special to Chris keeps a part of him here with us — his heart and his soul. His love and his legacy.”
