The seven-time Grammy Award winner sold over 100 million records in his lifetime and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

He wrote songs (that you may not have even known he wrote) like “Nothing Compares 2 U” by Sinead O’Connor and Alicia Keys’ “How Come You Don’t Call Me,” and inspired the film Purple Rain (in which Prince starred).

Prince was known for his quirky food habits (he was vegan and very picky) and was romantically tied with famous women like Kim Basinger, Carmen Electra, and Madonna.
