Prince
Prince’s “Purple Rain” is one of those songs you always expect to hear at karaoke, and for that, we have the musical icon to thank. Prince gave us many hits throughout his career–hits that solidified him as one of the best ever. And if he hadn’t passed away suddenly in 2016, we could’ve expected even more unforgettable songs from him–songs that might never have been written had he not taken too many substances for pain relief. His untimely death was a true loss for music lovers everywhere.
The photo above is the only known picture of Prince taken in his final hours as he ran errands near his Minnesota home. He was discovered unresponsive 13 hours later in an elevator at home and is believed to have passed away alone.
