Nothing compares 2 Prince: A look at his life and legacy 10 years after his death

It’s hard to believe, but it’s been 10 years since the death of Minnesota’s most beloved cultural icon, Prince. Just before 10 the morning of April 21st, 2016, he was found unresponsive at his studios in Paisley Park after a fentanyl overdose. He was 57 years old. As the world processed the news, fans assembled outside Paisley Park and First Avenue. The downtown Minneapolis nightclub later became the scene of an all-night dance party to honor the artist. Music journalist Andrea Swensson, formerly of The Current, was both at Paisley Park and First Avenue, helping share his legacy with the world. Andrea went on to write a book about Prince. She also hosted the official Prince podcast. She joined Minnesota Now host Nina Moini to reflect on Prince’s life and legacy.
