For their performance, King, 33, passionately played the piano as she sang along to the iconic verses, while The Black Keys shook out on their instruments.

At one point, the piano burst into flames and King — being the icon that she is — stood up and slammed the keys considerably harder.

At the point when she stood up, she also showed the group that Lewis’ nickname, “The Executioner,” was weaved on her pants.

The wild legend and controversial musician died at his home in Desoto Nation, Mississippi, with his better half, Judith Earthy colored Lewis close by.

According to an official statement confirming his death, he let her in his final days know that he was not afraid to die.

“He is ready to leave,” Earthy colored Lewis had said not long before his death. “He said he was ready to accompany Jesus.”

Lewis was inducted into the Blue grass Music Hall of Fame last month, yet he was unable to make the ceremony because of a session with seasonal influenza.

Instead, Kris Kristofferson gave him the award at his bedside. The demigod experienced a minor stroke in March 2019, however despite his health scare, he was as yet eager to make music.

“I learn about the group on the main song. I want to investigate their eyes and see the emotion,” he told Individuals in 2017.

“In some cases [it’s] the commotion as well! It always figures out great either way. I give them what they want. I simply love music. I’m a musical person. I live for my music.”

“At the point when I cut sessions, I return home to my little small studio, I put my records on and I play them day in and day out,” added the star.

“I listen to my music because it’s soothing and I love it. It’s great … You just can’t beat rock and roll.”

Following his death, several musicians like Youngster Rock, Dennis Quaid and Elton John paid recognition.

Meanwhile, other performances at the award show include: Luke Brushes, Thomas Rhett and Katy Perry, Cody Johnson, Brothers Osborne, Reba McEntire and more!

The 2022 CMAs are airing live Wednesday night from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.
