It's hard to believe, but today marks the one-year anniversary of the death of Prince. Prince was declared dead at 10:04 a.m. on April 21, 2016, due to an accidental overdose of fentanyl. He says Prince fans were somewhat complicit in his addiction, which was likely a result of the chronic pain he suffered after years of performing. In addition, at his home and recording studio-turned-museum, a full four days of events are on tap. Prince's best-selling songs past year include "Purple Rain", with 621,000 downloads, followed by "Little Red Corvette", "Let's Go Crazy" and "Kiss".

This song was a big USA hit for the Fleetwood Mac singer back in 1983, and it features uncredited synth backing from Prince - with Stevie inspired to write the song after she heard Little Red Corvette.
She said her mother was a singer in the 1980s and would sometimes hang out with Prince at First Avenue.
"It's just a major loss in my life", Soso said.
Prince's siblings, who are on track to inherit an estate valued around $200 million, are hosting an all-night dance party in the Minneapolis suburb of Golden Valley with Dez Dickerson, Apollonia Kotero, Andre Cymone and others.
