"Tribute: Prince," the 24-page comic book by Blue Water
Productions, will celebrate the career of the 57-year-old
superstar whose music blended jazz, funk, R&B, disco and rock.
“So much has been left unsaid about the passing of legendary
music innovator Prince Rogers Nelson,”a spokesman for the
company said in a statement.
“Prince, a prolific musician from Minneapolis, started a musical
revolution with the hits '1999,' 'Little Red Corvette,' 'When
Doves Cry,' 'Purple Rain,' 'Batdance,' and more, challenging
even the 'King of Pop,' Michael Jackson, for chart supremacy
during the 1980’s.”
The comic book will be released on the singer's birthday, June
8th.
Prince, who was found unresponsive in an elevator at his Paisley
Park Studios compound in the Minneapolis suburb of Chanhassen,
won seven Grammy Awards and an Oscar.
The Midwest Medical Examiner's Office in Anoka County, Minnesota
said in a death report released on Thursday that the singer died
from the highly addictive drug fentanyl, which is used to treat
patients with severe pain.
