In addition, he was considered one of the greatest performers of all time, known for his exciting shows and unique outfits. Often his outfits were purple, his signature color. As a tribute to Prince, cities across the United States shined purple lights on famous landmarks. Among the landmarks were Niagara Falls and the city halls of Baltimore, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. In Prince’s hometown of Minneapolis, several buildings and bridges were lit purple as well.
