\t\t\t\t\tGone But Not Forgotten: Musicians We Lost in\u00a02024\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\n\tPresident Nelson, Tyka\u2019s son, confirmed the news of his mother\u2019s death to The Minnesota Star Tribune<\/a><\/em>. He declined to offer further details, other than the date of her passing: Monday (Nov. 4).<\/p>\n

\n\tThe daughter of John L. Nelson and Mattie Shaw Nelson, Tyka was the \u201cPurple Rain\u201d singer\u2019s only full sibling. The pair also shared five half-siblings: Sharon Nelson, Norrine Nelson, John R. Nelson, Omarr Baker and Alfred Jackson.<\/p>\n

\n\tLike her famous brother, Tyka was also a musician. She released four albums from 1988 to 2011, according to the Star Tribune<\/em>, and she was supposed to have her retirement and farewell concert in June in her home city. Leading up to the show, however, she got sick and dropped out of the performance, telling the publication, \u201cI\u2019m getting older \u2026 I really wasn\u2019t a singer. I\u2019m a writer. I just happen to be able to sing. I enjoy singing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShe also said at the time that she was writing a memoir.<\/p>\n

\n\tSince Prince died from an accidental fentanyl overdose in 2016, Tyka and her half-siblings had been engaged in a yearslong legal disagreement over the handling of the seven-time Grammy winner\u2019s estate. In July, a Delaware judge ruled against<\/a> Sharon, Norrine and John\u2019s wishes for advisors L. Londell McMillan and Charles Spicer Jr. to be removed as managers of Prince Legacy LLC, which was created to operate half of Prince\u2019s estate. The three siblings had initially appointed McMillan and Spicer Jr. to their positions and gave each of them a 10% interest in the company, but Sharon later regretted the decision, sparking the lawsuit.<\/p>\n

\n\tTyka, Omarr and Alfred, on the other hand, sold their inherited shares of Prince\u2019s estate to Primary Wave. Prince Legacy LLC and Primary Wave split the responsibility of managing the late superstar\u2019s affairs and keeping his legacy alive, something that was paramount to Tyka in her life.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019d like for my brother to be remembered as the consummate artist that he is,\u201d she said in a 2018 interview with Studio 10<\/a>. \u201cHe was also a clothes designer and \u2014 not only a musician and a singer \u2014 but an entertainer and an actor. You\u2019re gonna see a lot more footage of him and hear a lot of his music. I want you to see everything that he kept for you because his life was for you.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
