Might be jumping the gun here.

.... ahh, a rare mistake by CBS news.
But, the outlook is grim, none-the-less.

He's about the only musician I would pay to go see. I've seen him 3 or 4 times live.  Great shows.  I appreciate how he didn't gouge fans at every turn.  Tickets were cheap, merch was pretty cheap.

I would say Wildflowers is my favorite of his albums.  I sing Alright For Now to my kids at night when they request it...my daughter loves it.

This is a very underrated song:

Also, makes this tougher to watch(Prince's solo here is amazing):
