Orchestra Plays Prince's 'Purple Rain' During Halftime of Vikings-Packers

During halftime of the Minnesota Vikings’ home opener against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, there was a ceremony to honor late pop star Prince.

The musical icon, who died on April 21, was born in Minneapolis.

U.S. Bank Stadium was draped in purple lighting as an orchestra covered one of Prince’s biggest hits, “Purple Rain.”

Here's another look:
