Kanye West invited the public to worship with him on Easter morning at Coachella, livestreaming the proceedings on YouTube. 10,000 people reportedly attended the service and concert.
The event, which lasted nearly three hours, featured West and celebrity friends like Chance the Rapper, Teyana Taylor and Kid Cudi.
They were joined by a full band and a massive gospel choir, all dressed in shades of pink and purple. Overhead shots of the festival showed thousands of people surrounding a grassy hill, where the musicians were arranged in a circle.Kanye West performs Sunday Service during the 2019 Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival on April 21, 2019 in Indio, Calif.
The uplifting service featured clever snippets and mash-ups of gospel and pop classics with West's own songs like "Lift Yourself," "All Falls Down," "Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1," "Otis," "Power," "Ultralight Beam" and, of course, "Jesus Walks." The Clark Sisters' "Ha Ya ," and the JAY-Z song that sampled it, "Family Feud," were mashed up, and the musicians also performed Kirk Franklin's "Brighter Day," Shirley Caesar's "Satan We're Gonna Tear Your Kingdom Down" and "Back to Life" by Soul II Soul.
