Tyka Nelson, Singer and Prince’s Only Full Sibling, Passes Away at 64

Tyka Nelson, the only full sibling of legendary musician Prince and a Minneapolis-based singer, passed away Monday at age 64. Confirmed by a representative for Prince’s estate, her cause of death was not disclosed. Nelson, who released four albums between 1988 and 2011, was planning a farewell concert last June but couldn’t attend due to illness. Known for her songwriting, she described herself as more of a writer than a singer. Nelson was one of Prince’s six heirs following his passing in 2016 and continued to work on preserving his legacy. She is survived by her sons and three siblings.
