Prince, one of the many iconic entertainers who passed away last year, was notoriously averse to much music tech, and had removed his catalog from most streaming platforms in 2015. His last album releases were shared to Tidal, but with his death, the question of who will control the rights to his vast catalog is uncertain.
Billboard cited sources who said at least some of Prince’s music would be available for streaming by the time of the Grammys. Representatives from the parties in question have not commented on the rumors or the meaning of the purple Spotify banners.
