Prince was a one-of-a-kind musician but, man, did Bruno Mars give him a fitting tribute at the Grammys on Sunday night.

Bruno became The Purple One — just look at the outfit — and performed one of Prince’s biggest hits, “Let’s Go Crazy.”

Of course, it takes much more than purple clothes to properly honor Prince. Fortunately, Bruno knows how to handle a guitar, too.

The Time kicked off the tribute with renditions of “Jungle Love” and “The Bird,” two songs co-written by Prince.

There was one other nod to Prince that really stood out during the night. Looking nice in that suit, Blue Ivy!
