As fans from around the world gather for the 10th anniversary year of Prince Celebration, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has officially proclaimed June 1-7, 2026, "Prince Celebration Week" in Minneapolis, recognizing Prince's immeasurable impact on the city's culture, identity and global legacy.

Earlier this year, The Prince Estate previewed Timeless with the release of "With This Tear" on April 2, commemorating the tenth anniversary of Prince's passing. Originally recorded at Paisley Park in November 1991, the song stands as a testament to Prince's singular artistry-he produced, arranged, composed, and performed every instrument heard on the recording. Lauded by CBS News and more, Rolling Stone hailed it as "deeply personal," while Billboard praised its "stripped-back interpretation," highlighting Prince's vocal performance and piano arrangement.
Released during the 10th anniversary year of Prince's passing,Timeless stands as both a celebration of his enduring legacy and a rare opportunity for fans to experience previously unheard chapters of his artistic journey. Nearly a decade later, Prince's influence remains as profound as ever, and Timeless offers a powerful reminder of the extraordinary depth, range, and timelessness of his life's work.
