It’s been 10 years, actually 9 years. I can not believe that it’s been that long. It just seems like maybe last year that we all heard the news that Prince Rogers Nelson had passed away. It was devastating to a lot of his fans. Prince, who had so much life (seemingly) to still live. So much more to give and all cut short by…stupidity. Stupidity and stubbornness. Something that when you look back at it, it seems like it could have been avoided. Same with Tom Petty, but that is another conversation for another day.
Today I want to talk about the fact that the Prince estate is going to put on a huge celebration of life. It will happen next year in June. As to where – that seems to be a bit of a mystery. It says “downtown Minneapolis, St. Paul and Chanhassen”. So I was thinking that maybe it would be at a few venues so that more of his fans that would want to celebrate his life and music would be able to do so at a few venues. That is actually what I hope is happening.
There is plenty of time to plan for this event. As it is happening June of 2016.
