“Prince is an icon. He inspired us to be bolder, to be more creative, to be more musical, to take more control over our music and our careers,” he said. “He’s been such an inspiration. I can’t imagine my life without Prince.”

Misty Copeland also talked about how Prince affected her life, stating, “He definitely gave me the confidence to accept and own what it is to be different and not to shy away from that but, like, stand up and be proud that I’m a black woman surrounded by white people in a very white classical ballet world. He just gave me so much encouragement and confidence.”

The Special Is Hosted by Maya Rudolph

The special concert was hosted by Maya Rudolph, who will also be performing with her Prince cover band Princess. Of course, Rudolph is a huge Prince fan.

“I definitely have always been drawn to his voice. He was a perfect musician. It’s like when you have a tour guide and you know that they’re amazing—you just say, ‘All right, wherever you want to take me, let’s go,’” she told Newsweek. “And that feeling carried through my entire experience of listening to Prince, not to mention when I got to see him live. When somebody’s that proficient at what they do, it’s almost relaxing,” she said.
