Dearly beloved, we are gathered together seven days after the world lost Prince. It’s been a hard week, and a strange one. Here’s what’s happened in the time since his death.
1. Legal experts said his estate could not sue the National Enquirer for reporting he died of AIDS.
2. As a search warrant was issued in the death investigation, police disclosed that authorities were called to Paisley Park 46 times in the five years before he died.
3. Prince’s sister said that he did not have a will. His former lawyer said he definitely should have.
4. The same lawyer dismissed “foolish” reports that Prince overdosed in the week before his death.
5. After reports that Prince overdosed on prescription pain pills a week before his death, a drug expert told TheWrap they were “essentially heroin pills.”
6. NBC News reported that law enforcements sources said prescription painkillers were in Prince’s possession at the time of his death.
7. Finally, some good news: The Revolution announced plans to reunite for “some shows.”
