Bruce Springsteen opened his Brooklyn concert with the Prince classic ‘Purple Rain’ on Saturday night.
Springsteen and the E Street Band are on tour across America performing the entire ‘The River’ album but the tour has turned into an obituary for three acts now with Bruce’s Prince cover added to recent covers he did when David Bowie and Glenn Frey also died.
