Bob Dylan, 73, performed on The David Letterman Show on Tuesday night to pay tribute to his friend.

The music legend honoured one of his most famous fans by singing The Night We Called It a Day o the episode.

The musician, who is rarely seen on TV, returned to the show for the first time in more than 20 years and gave a moving rendition of Frank Sinatra’s classic song, from his latest album, Shadows in the Night.

In a display of gratitude, Letterman revealed two pieces of life advice he gave to his son, one of which involved Dylan. Recalling what he said to his child, Letterman said: “You have to be nice to other people and the greatest songwriter of modern times is Bob Dylan.”

As the credits rolled, Dylan shook Letterman’s hand, while the host said: “Beautiful, thanks Bob. Beautiful”.
