President Barack Obama took a moment to remember Prince's legacy during a stop in Britain on Friday.
A day after posting his thoughts about the late icon on Facebook, Obama shared more about his fondness for the singer during a joint news conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron.
Obama said he loved Prince because he "put out great music and he was a great performer."
"I didn't know him well," Obama added. "He came to perform at the White House last year and was extraordinary and creative and original and full of energy. And, so, it's a remarkable loss."
The president said the U.S. ambassador has a turntable in his residence, so the two "played 'Purple Rain' and 'Delirious' just to get warmed up before the important bi-lateral meetings."
Obama and first lady Michelle Obama are on a three-day visit to the U.K. where the president is meeting with Cameron to discuss ISIS, the situation in Libya, and the future of the European Union.
