Starting Sunday, you can stream Prince's music almost everywhere
Get ready for a #PurpleSunday.
After several months of speculation, Prince's biggest hits will be available to stream on a number of streaming services -- including Spotify, Pandora, Napster and Amazon Music -- starting Sunday.
Prince, a prolific artist who died of an accidental overdose of the opioid fentanyl in April of 2016, removed his music from the major streaming services in June 2015.
Shortly after, Jay Z's Tidal became the exclusive streaming home to the artist's back catalog, as well as more recent works "Baltimore" and the LP Hit n Run.

After his unexpected death last year, Prince's estate -- placed under the charge of a Minnesota bank and Prince's siblings -- struck a deal with Universal Music for Prince's catalog, re-opening the doors to services other than Tidal to get streaming rights.
Earlier this month, Spotify began hinting at Prince's music returning to the platform with large promotions across major cities.

Prince's streaming debut coincides with Sunday's Grammy Awards, which will include tributes to both Prince and the late George Michael.
