In Brooklyn, director Spike Lee threw an impromptu block party for hundreds of fans.
Celebrity tributes continue to pour in from all over the world.
At a concert in Paris on Thursday night, Mariah Carey told her audience: “Let's have a moment of silence for Prince if you could please."
During a performance in Canada, Rihanna told fans: “It’s a sad day for music lovers and musicians. We will miss you.”
On Broadway, Jennifer Hudson and the cast of The Color Purple broke out of character to lead the audience in a soulful rendition of “Purple Rain.”
The cast of Hamilton brought the audience to their feet with a performance of “Let’s Go Crazy.”
CNN political commentator Van Jones broke down as he spoke about his close friendship with Prince. He said he felt “guilt” and pondered what he could have done after what happened.
“Now people will start talking and you will start hearing because he was such a private person,” he told Don Lemon. “He was there for us when we were down.”
Jones revealed how concerts in areas like Chicago and Baltimore were a cover for him to go to cities and organizations to help communities in need.
Mayte Garcia, Prince's ex-wife, was photographed as she learned the terrible news. The couple had a child together, who died a week after birth from a rare genetic defect.
She told People magazine: "This man was my everything, we had a family. I am beyond deeply saddened and devastated."
Prince will live on in the memories of fans and music for generations to come -- but much of his vinyl backcatalog on Amazon is either “Temporary Out of Stock” or on backorder.
