Living Through His Music

It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since we lost our lovely Prince, but there it is? While we still get weepy when our favourite anthem catches us off guard on the airwaves, we can try to heal by celebrating his memory, his image and most importantly, his music. June 23 sees the release of Purple Rain in deluxe (two-CD) and deluxe – expanded (three-CD) form, so get ordering.
