'Captain America' team pay tribute to Prince
The singer songwriter died at his Paisley Park Studios compound on Thursday.
Singapore (Reuters) - The cast and co-director from superhero action flick "Captain America: Civil War" paid tribute to late pop superstar Prince on Friday, while promoting the movie in Singapore.
The 57-year old singer songwriter, known for hits like "Kiss" and "Purple Rain", died at his Paisley Park Studios compound on Thursday in the Minneapolis suburb of Chanhassen.
"It s tough, it s heartbreaking, he really was a special guy, someone else told me recently that ... between him and David Bowie ... they really were able to kind of redefine what it is to be a man ... what it is to be an artist," the film s star Chris Evans said.
"It s really a tragedy that the music world, the world just lost a couple of great legends this year."
The film s co-director Joe Russo echoed those comments.
"It s very tragic, it s heartbreaking," he said. "Prince was such an influence in my life musically ... my eyes teared up when I read about it."
