Drastic news indeed.
He is one of only a small handful of the true royalty of music - along with Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, Dylan and maybe 1 or 2 others who have written such a massive and diverse repertior, won multiple grammies and tons more awards, played multiple instruments .... and generally deserve the name 'genius'

The world has lost a true great. But he leaves behind a portfolio of wonderful art that will live into the in the future as Mozart & Beethoven.

Very bleak day here in Minnesota where he lived. It's all the news agencies have been talking about, even public radio. Another great talent taken away.
One of the very few current pop artists who I really enjoyed.

Not a good year to be a rock star for sure. Bowie then this! Oh and don't forget Glen Frey. Boy I'm feeling old at the moment.

Why Over Half of Prince’s Estate Will Go to the Government

It appears that the pop star Prince may have died without a will, leaving behind a multi-million dollar and growing estate. Although Prince has one full sister and five half-siblings, Prince’s family members will not be his biggest heirs.

Both the federal government and Minnesota’s state government will assess so-called “death taxes” or estate taxes on Prince’s assets, taking away more than half his estate. Between his physical assets—cash, investments, home, etc.—and his future royalties, Prince’s estate has been estimated to be between $300 and $500 million.

If Prince were married, he could have passed on the entirety of his estate to his spouse tax free. However, without a spouse, only $1.6 million of Prince’s estate will be free from Minnesota’s death tax and only $5.45 million will escape the federal death tax.

The combination of Minnesota’s top death tax rate of 16 percent, plus the federal government’s 40 percent rate, means that over 50 percent of Prince’s estate will go to the government ...

Ghouls.

Note the part about the $5.45 million exemption. Anyone reading this will probably have no tax due.
