On April 21, 2021, fans of the late Minnesota superstar Prince gathered at his former home and recording studio, Paisley Park in Chanhassen, to honor the nine-year anniversary of his death. The event, titled A Day 2 Remember | A Night 2 Reflect, included activities such as creating origami doves with messages and a candle lighting ceremony at 4:21 p.m. to remember Prince. The event was livestreamed online for those who could not attend in person.
Fans like Dorothy-Inez and Danielle Gaskins paid their respects to Prince, reflecting on his impact and legacy. Gaskins, who had seen Prince perform live 69 times, spoke about transitioning from mourning to celebrating Prince’s life. Dorothy-Inez, a fan since 1978, shared memories of seeing Purple Rain 55 times and dressing up like Vanity. Prince was remembered as a one-of-a-kind artist, with a unique musical talent that may never be replicated.
Musicians who had collaborated with Prince also gathered in Hopkins to pay tribute to the late musician, while lawmakers in Minnesota proposed a bill to make Prince’s “Purple Rain” one of the state’s official songs. Prince, a Minneapolis native, died of a fentanyl overdose at the age of 57. The event at Paisley Park served as a poignant reminder of the lasting impact Prince’s music and legacy continues to have on fans and the music industry.
