Legendary LA Lakers basketballer Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gigi's sudden death in a helicopter crash last month shook people in every career and walk of life - particularly the music world who honoured Kobe in a big way at the recent Grammy Awards, held at his home court at the Staples Center.
Now at his memorial in LA, Beyoncé has honoured him in a way that only Beyoncé could - by performing a moving medley of XO and Halo with an orchestra dressed in all-white.

Dressed in the same mustard yellow Kobe wore on the court every day, Bey restarted XO and told the room, "I'm here because I love Kobe and this was one of his favorite songs. I want to start that over, but I want us to do it all together, and I want you to sing it so loud that he hears your love."
It's a really moving watch and it's hard not to tear up - even Bey's eyes look wet. Hopefully you've got some tissues in hand.
