What year did prince play at half time of the super bowl

Prince played the legendary Super Bowl XLI Halftime Show in 2007.

Rising up from the ground, out of the unpronounceable "Love Symbol" that had replaced his name in 1993 amid a spat with Warner Bros., Prince appeared in a bell-bottomed aqua suit with a halfway unbuttoned orange blouse underneath.

Prince's very setlist has had a lasting impact as well. Rather than rattling off a long list of his tried and true hits or seizing the opportunity of such a huge national audience to promote a new single, Prince surprised people everywhere by covering a number of other artists' songs.

So, in addition to "Let's Go Crazy," "Baby I'm a Star," a "1999" interlude, and "Purple Rain," he performed renditions of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower," Creedance Clearwater Revival's "Proud Mary," Queen's "We Will Rock You," and Foo Fighters' "Best of You."

Days after Prince's death, memorials for the music legend are still going strong. Mourners from the singer's inner circle and fans from far and wide remembered him over the weekend.

Here's a look at the latest developments, four days after the 57-year-old musician was found dead inside an elevator at Paisley Park Studios shared by CNN.
