Adam Levine Performs “Purple Rain”

Adam Levine took the stage to perform an epic rendition of “Purple Rain.” In the days following Prince’s death, the folks at “The Howard Stern Show” decided to release Levine’s performance online, in tribute to the legendary singer.

Joined by the rock band Train, it’s Levine who stole the show and blew everyone away. Most people know the Maroon 5 frontman for his silky smooth pop vocals, but did you know he’s also an incredible guitarist? Pulling off the guitar solo in “Purple Rain” is no easy feat, even for a seasoned guitar player, yet Levine destroyed it in the best way possible. He played it with such confidence and ease, and it’s amazing to watch him take complete control over such a widely celebrated song. The solo begins around 3:45.
