On Thursday the world lost a musical icon when Prince died at the age of 57 (2016 also claimed David Bowie, so maybe stop being terrible, 2016). 

There are many legendary moments from the singer-songwriter's career worth watching and remembering in tribute after his passing. And one of them is NFL-related, with Prince absolutely tearing down the house at Super Bowl XLI in what may be the greatest halftime performance ever.

The league doesn't like to embed video (of course) but you can go here to watch the behind-the-scenes information about Prince's show, where he performed "Purple Rain" during a monsoon.

Everyone remembers this game as an incredible South Florida monsoon -- the Bears and Colts took the field with it pouring down rain (Devin Hester returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown).

RIP Prince. (via NFL Youtube)

But Prince, as you can see in the NFL's behind-the-scenes video, didn't give one flip about the weather.

"Yes it's raining. Can you make it rain harder?"

He soaked it in -- in more than one way -- rumbling through an incredible set of songs that culminated with one of the greatest renditions of "Purple Rain" you'll ever hear.

RIP, Prince. Gone way too soon.

Here's a full version of "Purple Rain" as well so you can soak up all the glory that is the beautiful devastation of Prince's guitar chops.
