Who is Prince? A little background
Prince Rogers Nelson (7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016) was an American singer, composer, musician, producer, dancer, actor and director. A guitar virtuoso known for his genre-bending work, wide singing voice and flamboyant stage performances, Prince is considered one of the greatest musicians of all time. His innovative music combined a wide range of styles including funk, rock, R&B, new wave, soul, psychedelia and pop. Prince was a pioneer of the Minneapolis sound of the late 1970s , a sub-genre of the funk rock genre of synth-pop and new wave.
Original video "Purple Rain" Prince:
In 2016, Pink Floyd frontman David Gilmour honoured the late Prince by performing an outstanding mashup of the classic "Comfortably Numb" and Prince's standout hit "Purple Rain" during a concert at London's Royal Albert Hall.
As he played, the stage was dyed purple - the audience was thrilled to see such a unique performance.
This was a concert from David's tour in support of his latest album "Rattle That Lock". The show was a charity: all the money went to Teenage Cancer Trust (a teenage cancer organisation).
It's a really beautiful tribute from one very talented musician to another equally talented musician. A recording of that concert:
