The world of music is in mourning following the death of Prince at the age of just 57.
The legendary musician passed away at his Paisley Park estate, after reportedly suffering from flu-like symptoms late last week. At times like this, a natural reaction is to immerse yourself in his most memorable performances, and the story behind his Super Bowl half-time show might be the best of all. Bruce Rodgers, the production designer behind the 2007 show, remembers how Prince went above and beyond to produce what might just be the best performance in Super Bowl half-time history. With the rain lashing down in Miami, the artist was warned about the conditions, and Prince responded in a manner only he could - by asking "Can you make it rain harder?' Naturally, the end result was a performance for the ages, the like of which we'll probably never see again in our lifetimes. Clip via NFLExplore more on these topics:
