The Recording Academy® Statement Re: Prince
April 21, 2016
Our GRAMMY® family is deeply saddened to
learn of the passing of seven-time GRAMMY Award winner Prince. Today, we
remember and celebrate him as one of the most uniquely gifted artists
of all time. Never one to conform, he redefined and forever changed our
musical landscape. Prince was an original who influenced so many, and
his legacy will live on forever. We have lost a true innovator and our
sincerest condolences go out to his family, friends, collaborators, and
all who have been impacted by his incredible work.
