## Bio

Prince Rogers Nelson signed to Warner Bros. at 18 and released For You two years later. Critical success came with Dirty Mind in 1980, Controversy in 1981, and 1999 in 1982. In 1984, with the Revolution, he became the first artist to simultaneously hold the number-one film, album, and single in the United States: Purple Rain spent 24 weeks atop the Billboard 200 and won the Academy Award for Best Original Song Score. After disbanding the Revolution, he released Sign o' the Times in 1987, widely considered his greatest work. In 1993, mid-dispute with Warner, he changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol and became known as the Artist Formerly Known as Prince. He reverted to Prince in 2000 after signing with Arista, released 39 albums in his lifetime, and died April 21, 2016, at 57, from an accidental fentanyl overdose at Paisley Park.
