Exactly one week before his untimely passing early this morning, Prince took to the stage at Atlanta’s Fox Theater on April 14, 2016 for one last major show that turned out to be an unforgettable performance.

Remembering a Legend: The A-Z of Prince

In light of the news of his death today, concert goers who were in attendance that night have taken to social media to share photos and video footage from a night that they’ll surely remember forever.  With a set list that included fan-favorites like “Little Red Corvette,” “Beautiful Ones,” and his original recording of “Nothing Compares 2 U,” the audience can be heard singing along to nearly every word as Prince does what only he could do on stage. 

Celebrities React to the Heartbreaking News of Prince’s Death

Here’s a look at some of the video footage captured from the show.  RIP to one of the greatest of our time.
