John Legend is set to pay tribute to the late singer Prince tonight, with one of Prince's biggest fans, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, eagerly anticipating the performance. Governor Walz, a vocal admirer of Prince who hails from Minneapolis, signed a bill last year to establish the Prince Memorial Highway in honor of the iconic musician.
In a statement following the bill signing, Governor Walz expressed his deep admiration for Prince, highlighting the artist's significant impact on music, style, and artistry both in Minnesota and around the globe. He emphasized Prince's enduring influence on the music industry and society as a whole.
Known for his love of music, Governor Walz is particularly fond of Prince's legendary album 'Purple Rain.' As a tribute to the late singer, the highway signs for the Prince Memorial Highway are adorned in purple, symbolizing Prince's signature color and his lasting legacy in the music world.
