Ad Disclosure
On Thursday, the world received the very unfortunate news that legendary musician and American icon Prince had passed away at the age of 57. There was an immediate outpour of respect for the seven-time Grammy winner, particularly on social media where his music can endlessly be shared.
Arkansas hosts its annual Red-White spring game this Saturday, but still had two more regular practices left — so in light of the tragic news, the Razorbacks only did what they felt was right.
They blasted some of Prince’s top hits during Thursday evening’s practice.

Rest in peace, Prince.
