22 April 2016

This morning we woke up to the devastating news that iconic American singer Prince was found dead in his home in Minneapolis, passing away at the age of 57.

A musical legend, Prince received seven Grammy Awards from 32 nominations throughout his career and landed his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 in 1984 with Purple Rain. Other prolific albums from the star include 1999, Around The World in a Day, Sign O The Times and Batman. The singer released 39 solo studio albums across his 35-plus-year career under various pseudonyms and was renowned not only for this musicianship, but for his trailblazing and eclectic style.

Here we celebrate some of his stand-out style moments, from 1984 to 2016.
