As fans around the globe reflect on the tenth anniversary of Prince's sudden death in the spring of 2016, his hometown of Minneapolis is preparing a grand celebration in his honor. This event aims to transform the usual annual tribute into a significant milestone, marking a decade since the world lost the iconic musician.

L. Londell McMillan, who served as Prince's attorney and long-time business partner, expressed to CNN that this year's commemoration will surprise fans with its scale and sincerity. He hopes that this occasion will shift the focus from mourning the artist's absence to celebrating his presence and the magic he brought into people's lives.

The extensive festivities will be held under the theme "Celebrating a Decade of Life" and promise to be more elaborate than usual. These events are scheduled between June 3 and June 7, coinciding with what would have been Prince's 68th birthday.

Paisley Park, once Prince’s private residence and studio located in Chanhassen, Minnesota, now functions as a sprawling museum dedicated to his legacy. It will host a series of events celebrating Prince’s artistic contributions through various interactive activities and exhibitions.

Additionally, McMillan has partnered with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey to organize a public concert as part of the planned tribute. This two-hour musical event is free and open for all ages. It's set to take place outdoors near the famous mural of Prince in downtown Minneapolis, a city that continues to feel his vibrant spirit through its streets and music.

In Mayor Frey's words, "In Minneapolis, we don't just remember Prince—we feel his presence in our music and identity."

Fans worldwide were devastated when Prince was found deceased at his Paisley Park home on April 21, 2016, at 57 years old. The cause was an accidental overdose of fentanyl. Despite being known for his privacy, Prince was celebrated for his extraordinary musical talents and live performances. During his career, he won seven Grammy Awards and penned numerous hits for other artists.
