It has been nearly six years since his passing, and Prince’s music and aura continue to feed and energize people everywhere. As the anniversary of his death nears, several celebrations and remembrances have popped up around the metro. Prince was renowned for those all-night boogies at Paisley Park; grieving his loss can certainly mean getting down to the music.
