Prince: His life and music

Those who grew up with Prince and worked with him say the artist always had his own sense of style - and genius.

After the news came out that Prince had died, mourners flocked to Paisley Park and First Avenue to say goodbye.

Julien's Auctions announced Monday that the auction taking place June 19 and 20 in Beverly Hills, Calif., and online will include a 1984 blue "cloud" guitar custom-made for Prince that he played in his prime period just after "Purple Rain." A purple suit, a pendant and a pair of boots from Prince will be for sale, too.

A wrongful death lawsuit filed by Prince's family members has been quietly dismissed in recent months, suggesting family members have reached settlements with defendants including the Minnesota doctor who saw Prince in the weeks before his death and the Illinois hospital that treated him for an opioid overdose seven days before he died.

You won't get a full picture of Prince from this book, but it does manage to pierce through some of the mystery the renowned artist purposely cultivated around and about himself.

This fall, Prince’s long-anticipated memoir “The Beautiful Ones” and an extended version of his landmark album, “1999,” will be released. The Current’s Andrea Swensson talks about what hidden gems listeners and readers might find in these releases.

Andy Warhol transcended a photographer's copyright by transforming a picture of a vulnerable and uncomfortable Prince into an artwork that made the singer an "iconic, larger-than-life figure," a judge ruled Monday.

In the 1980s, Prince wrote one of the Bangles' biggest hits, 'Manic Monday.' Now, The Prince Estate has released the demo version of the track as part of the artist's posthumous album, Originals.

The album is comprised of 15 songs that Prince wrote for other artists, from "Manic Monday" to "Jungle Love."
