Prince (1958 – 2016)
Prince Rogers Nelson otherwise known simply as Prince was regarded as one of his era’s greatest musicians. Prince was a renowned singer, songwriter, and played multiple instruments. The late singer gathered a huge fan following due to his flamboyant persona and wide vocal range comprising high-pitched screams and extended falsetto.
The American singer used potent opioids to numb the pain that wreaked havoc in his body after prolonged athletic performances on stage over decades of his career. On April 21, 2016, Prince was 57 when he died due to an accidental overdose of a highly dangerous, synthetic opioid called fentanyl, which is even worse than heroin. Throughout his career, Prince released 39 albums, and it is reported that there is a vast array of projects in his vault that are yet unreleased.
