The tragic death of androgynous funk singer Prince brought shock not just through the media, but also throughout the world. The iconic artist, who died from a yet unknown cause on 21st April, will be remembered not only for his gender-bending style, but also for his unparalleled music. One of his most notable songs “Purple Rain” has inspired a multitude of buildings and landmarks to light up the regal shade across the globe.
