On what would have been Prince’s 68th birthday, fans and musicians gathered in Minneapolis to honor the late icon a decade after his passing. The weeklong 'Celebration of Life' drew thousands from around the world to key landmarks like First Avenue and Paisley Park, where attendees participated in sing-alongs, listening sessions, and intimate talks with artists who knew him personally.

Legendary producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis shared memories of Prince’s early days, recalling how his quiet intensity and musical brilliance stood out even in high school. They described him as the 'Mozart of our time,' emphasizing how his work transcended genre and brought diverse audiences together—a vision he actively pursued through his music.

The event highlighted Prince’s enduring cultural impact, with attendees dressed in purple and singing his songs in unison. Bassist and collaborator André Cymone, known as 'Day,' received the Prince Legacy Award and spoke of the artist as a once-in-a-generation force—'like a comet'—whose influence on the Minneapolis Sound and global music remains timeless.
