The musician Prince Rogers Nelson tragically died after an accidental overdose of fentanyl on April 21, 2016. In Prince's final 12 months, he started a memoir, advocated for the Black Lives Matter movement, signed with Tidal, and embarked on his intimate, improvised "Piano and a Microphone" tour.

Often referred to as a workaholic, Prince was a highly passionate musician who was committed to his craft. In his final year, he was extremely active in the music circuit and was determined to push his limits. According to a piece published in American Music Review, relieved from the financial pressures of a younger artist, Prince was able to spend time making the kind of music he wanted.

That said, Prince did want to stay in the contemporary music scene and chose, uncharacteristically, to collaborate with producer Joshua Welton for his 2015 album Hit n Run Phase One. Up until his tragic death in 2016, Prince was as active as ever, remaining socially engaged while making vibrant music and doing a solo tour.
