Hardcore fans are around 100,000 strong. Are we it? or do you think that people will still be discovering Prince long down the road?

True musicians will always admire him for his work. They also have an influence on their audience, much like Prince turned me on to Joni Mitchell
and Sly Stone, I think that future musicians will be turning their fans on to
Prince.

As his record sales dwindle, will his fanbase survive?

My 9 yr old brother is teaching his friends in his class Prince songs during lunch

I believe it'll grow

the number of fans will decrease, if anything.

for every new fan gained, an older one will do
just the opposite.

i think he´s on a pretty steady fanbase right
now with a certain amount of people who will
buy his new stuff regardless.

they know what to expect from prince and they
know they will enjoy it.

then there´s the occasional rise or fall in
numbers when he releases some obscure online
album or a mega promoted commercial album.

after a while the fanbase levels out again
right down to the hardcore.

which is just fine.

but i think that no matter how many fans he
has, he will always be respected for what´s
right there in his catalogue.

As long as there are people who like music, there will be people who like Prince, believe me!

def. will grow take me for example i only became a fan in 2004, and i consider myself a hardcore fan.
