With the stage flooded in purple light and fans singing along, Bruce Springsteen opened his concert in Brooklyn on Saturday with an E Street Band-backed rendition of Prince’s most recognizable hit, “Purple Rain.”
Springsteen is among several performers paying musical tribute to the late rock star, who died on Thursday at his home at the age of 57.
Here are some of the highlights:
Mariah Carey fought back tears as she sang her 1995 single, “One Sweet Day,” in Paris on Thursday night in honor of Prince. She told the audience about her friendship with the late star, saying, “He talked me through some times when I really really needed somebody,” and also led them in a moment of silence.
