Hi Sharon,

As others have already said, condolences on your loss, to you and all of Prince's family and friends. The way we felt it can't be close to comparable.

Just a couple of questions from me:

What's your funniest or favourite Prince memory/story?

Did you have a favourite Prince song?

Please accept my sincerest condolences on your family's loss...

I don't have a question...

<3

Would the estate consider releasing the "Piano And Microphone" Gala shows (January 21st) and "Piano And Microphone" Tour shows as a box set like several high calibre legacy artists like Prince have done in the past?

Is there any immediate plans to release the memoirs Prince was writing at the time of death?

How soon will the "Black On Both Sides" album, Prince finished recording with Kirk Johnson, Adrian Crutchfield and Mononeon recording in February of 2016?

Lastly, the album Prince recorded with the late great John Blackwell, Andrew Gouche, Marcus Anderson and Xavier called "NPGQ", will this album be released in the near future? I think the general public should hear the the last projects that Prince worked on that was mainly improvisational with great musicians of jazz and fusion backgrounds.

Hi Sharon, thanks for taking the time to answer some questions. I apologise in advance if this is not something you are willing or able to discuss, emotionally or legally. But if you can, please could you tell us about what you know regarding the months prior to Prince's passing and what he was dealing with? There is so much congecture, tabloid gossip and general confusion surrounding everything that a first hand account would help to clear things up and, no doubt, provide closure to many. I guess in a nutshell my question is: What on earth happened and why?

Many thanks and, one again, apologies for bring up what can only be a difficult topic to talk about.

I am coming to Minnesota in September if I wanted to get a feel for Prince's younger life where would you recommend that I visit.

Could there possibly be early concert footage from the "For You" era?

I'm sorry for your loss.

Please share a memory of a special brother/sister connection you had with Prince.

Hi Sharon, Thank you in advance for coming here to answer some questions.

How do you feel about celebrities like Stevie Nicks and Jay Z speaking out about Prince?

Stevie Nicks recently gave an interview about Prince that was very disrespectful (in my opinion) and then of course the lyric of Jay Z's new song was throwing some disrepect around also.

Also, did Prince ever show an interest in putting out some of his father's songs?

Are there any plans to publish his memoirs?

Were there any fans that stood out that he may have mentioned during his tours?

Rumors have spread through the Prince fan community about the Vault(s) not being in very good condition. Prince would record so much and often move onto the next project so quickly that previous recorded material (tapes) were not preserved properly leading to deterioration. Some have even said that he had older tapes destroyed or recorded over older material.

Can you give us the truth on the state of the vault? Has it been gone through by family? Isit being properly curated and preserved?

How many Prince concerts did you go to?

Just saying:

It would be nice if people spell checked their questions to Sharon prior to posting.

It would be nice if people read the previously asked questions prior to asking the same question.

Will the estate consider a premium subscriber service for hardcore fans (similar to Prince's own NPG Music Club) to facilitate the release of Prince's later work and other projects (Welcome 2 America, Black is the New Black, Phase 3, etc.) that would predominantly appeal to those who know and have followed Prince's work most closely?

Co-Sign this.

What was your favorite song of Prince's and why was it your favorite?

Ms. Nelson,

First and foremost, my condolensences to you and your family for your loss.

In regards to the Vault, could you please enlighten the Org with the following:

1.) Has the Vault been inventoried, and if so, what is the amount of material in the Vault?

2.) Aside from legal contracts, what is the probability of the contents being released?

3.) Are there currently any plans for preservation and digitalizing the Vault Material?

4.) Aside from the audio and video contents, are there a vast amount of photos or miscellaneous items in the Vault that most are not commonly aware of?

5.) Lastly, were there really multiple Vaults?

Thank you for your time in addressing these questions.

Hi Sharon Thank you for answering questions! I was wondering (the answer may be out there somewhere but I haven't come across it yet) but, as for your father's album that is coming out- will it be available in CD form? I am an old school kind of girl, I like to own my music - I still like CD's and records so I'm hoping it will be an album on a CD and if so, will it be available on Amazon or in stores? Thank you --- Also, it seems Prince was very much like his father- would you say that is true? Do you think they were similar? You all seem like very nice people _ I hope the best for all of you---- Please keep Paisley Park up and running- it can be like a Graceland but better, in my opinion -- P.S. here is my suggestion for Paisley Park --- Maybe some high end clothing made by his seamstress(es) It would be so great if there were items for sale like the Emancipation white bubble coat or a nice Lovesexy blazer or nice, blazers with "Minneapolis," on the arm- stuff like that! How cool! I would pay good money for it! Just an idea Thank you, Sharon. God Bless.

P.S. --- Also, Sharon, do you know if there are any hand drawings done by Prince? Any artwork that you've come across at PP- in the Vault- or his office or anywhere- that you might have made into prints and might sell? I would die for something like that!
