Jay-Z and Beyoncé dedicated a song from their "On The Run 2" tour stop in London to the victims of the Grenfell Tower Fire Friday. One day after the one-year anniversary of the tragedy that claimed 72 lives, the couple honored those affected with a rendition of Jay-Z's "Young Forever." The tribute, which featured Beyoncé singing the hook borrowed from Alphaville's "Forever Young," closed the show. The two artists wore green heart pins that have been designed in memory of the Grenfell tragedy.
