Stevie Wonder and Madonna joined forces to perform a Prince tribute at the 2016 Billboard on Sunday, May 22.

Before Wonder and Madonna took to the stage, Roots drummer Questlove shared some heartfelt words about the singer.

"I want to take a moment to remember the great Prince Rogers Nelson," said Questlove before asking for a moment of silence. "It can be a moment of silence, but inside our heads, it should be anything but silent."

Madonna covered Prince's "Nothing Compares 2 U," while purple lights illuminated the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Then, as a surprise, Wonder came out to join her on "Purple Rain."

"Thank you Prince Rogers Nelson for all that you have given us," Madonna said while holding Wonder's hand.

Artists like Rihanna and The Weeknd watched emotionally from the crowd.
