With tears, tattoos, Prince fans remember him a year later

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — For Prince fans, the one-year anniversary of his shocking death from an accidental drug overdose is a time for sadness and celebration.

Fans from around the globe have flocked to Paisley Park, now a museum, for a four-day celebration that includes performances by Prince's former bandmates and panel discussions.

Fans who didn't want to pop for a $549 ticket to get into Paisley could head to a street party outside First Avenue, the club he made famous in "Purple Rain."

[...] the Minnesota History Center is staging a special exhibit of Prince memorabilia, including his iconic "Purple Rain" costume.

Here's a look at how some of Prince's fans are remembering his legacy and mourning his loss.

Mary Adams and her 10-year-old daughter, Rachel, visited First Avenue on Friday to pose for a picture in front of Prince's star, repainted from silver to gold soon after his death.

The couple had already been to Paisley Park once, in November, when they took a VIP tour and played on Prince's ping-pong table.

Prince's music "was something you could always put on if you wanted to make people dance at a party," she said.
