Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band opened their show Saturday night with a touching tribute to music legend Prince.
The band performed the late artist's iconic song "Purple Rain" on a purple-lit stage at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
"Prince forever! God bless!" the New Jersey singer said at the end of the six-minute rendition.
Springsteen posted video of the performance on Twitter:
