Prince's Legacy

Since Prince doesn't have any children, his parents have passed, and he's recently divorced, who would wind up in control of Prince's estate should he pass on today? I'm not wishing it upon him mind you and it may seem a bit morose, but what would happen to his loot, unreleased material, properties, etc... Larry? disbelief What happens to somebody's legacy at this point? I'm sure P is savvy enough to have all this figured out, but maybe if ya'll have any insight....?




PS. sexxydancer, before you get all worked up and decide to type a post about how Prince will never die, yes he will. wink

Y'all people seriously need to stop hating on Larry.
It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

I wouldn't put it pass him to have most of his things destroyed like he had his purple house torn down to the ground when he moved so no one else would live in it.

Well since he's technically still married, wouldn't Mani get it?

Maybe he has plans to donate everything to a museum, a foundation, or the city of Minneapolis or something. It might be kind of cool if Paisley Park became a museum/community center where kids could come take classes and learn about "real music by real musicians." Like a Presidential library except it's musicology.


Most importantly I just hope he has some plan...I would hate to see a bunch of people come out of the woodwork and start fighting over shit.
The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.

I don't know....I thought she filed for divorce last May...haven't heard anything about it since. Admittedly, I don't spend much time following up on Prince's marital status...he's too old for me and not really my type. I don't date guys who are prettier than me anymore. razz For what it's worth, she has "married" on her myspace profile. shrug


But what about my museum idea?!? I thought it was good. I could manage the educational tour program. biggrin

i dunno, but with all the possibilities for remasters and vault releases and live recordings and whatnot, they could stand to make a pretty penny from his legacy for years to follow. i could see him doing this.

the sad thing about this is when he finally meets his maker (perish the thought) people will suddenly adore him and never get enough enough of his music.... confused
