Prince has been found dead at his Paisley Park recording studio in Minnesota after he was in hospital last week for a flu emergency.
Prince's cause of death is not yet known, but last week he was rushed to hospital apparently recovering from a bout of flu that had forced his private jet to make an emergency landing in Illinois.
Buildings, newspaper front pages and websites across the US and beyond have changed colour in his honour.
Now Snapchat has introduced a filter to allow its users to pay tribute - and it's truly beautiful.
The app is letting people layer purple raindrops over their photographs.
In Prince's native Minneapolis, the Minnesota Twins baseball team turned their stadium purple, as did the Lowry Avenue Bridge in the centre of the city.Other prominent buildings in New York and New Orleans were also given a new purple look. And while the Niagara Falls were turned purple to mark the Queen's 90th birthday, the coincidence was welcomed by Prince fans online.MTV's Twitter logo has also turned purple. In the UK, the front page of the Sun newspaper featured a photo of Prince against a purple background with the headline: "Purple reign is over."
