Madonna Led Tributes To Late Prince At Billboard Music Awards

Madonna worked several times with Prince - who died last month collaborating on Love Song at his Paisley Park recording studio in 1989.

Madonna led the tributes to the late Prince at the Billboard music awards, on an emotional night in Las Vegas. 

Echoing his unique style, she wore a lavender paisley suit with a ruffled blouse as she sang Nothing Compares 2 U.

She was then joined on stage by Stevie Wonder for a rendition of Purple Rain.

The Weekend was the big winner of the night, being given eight honours including Top Hot 100 Artist and Top R&B Artist.

He dedicated his Top 100 Artist award to Prince, saying: "I love him so much. I didn't know him but he was very close to me. He'll always be an inspiration."

Adele picked up the award for Top Artist, while her album 25 beat Swift's 1989, The Weeknd's Beauty Behind The Madness, and Justin Bieber's Purpose for Top Album award.
