Toronto Citizens Confuse CN Tower's Purple Tribute To The Queen's Birthday For The Passing Of Prince


Story out of Toronto, Ontario:

Shocked fans of musician Prince mourned the artist following the news of his death at age 57 on Thursday.

Iconic monuments in cities across the U.S. were lit purple to honour his life and work, a colour that became synonymous with the late singer.

In Canada, there was confusion who all the purple light was for as some coincidental light scheduling at landmarks like the CN Tower and Niagara Falls left Prince fans confused if the violet glow was a tribute to the “Purple Rain” singer.

Was it a tribute to Prince’s passing? Queen Elizabeth’s 90th birthday? Or, was it to help rally the Toronto Raptors in their playoff push?

The CN Tower was actually scheduled to light up purple to celebrate the Queen’s 90th birthday but also coincided with Prince’s death. Cont.
