Prince, the global icon rooted in hometown Minneapolis


Not only did Prince buck the trend in not running his career from New York or Los Angeles, but he ignored the celebrity penchant for tax havens, balmy weather or life behind gated communities. - AFP

Chanhassen (United States) (AFP) - To millions, Prince was a global icon, but at heart he remained a hometown boy from Minneapolis, nurturing local talent, hosting legendary parties and putting the city on the international music map.

Two days before he was found dead, Prince listened to music at the Dakota Jazz Club, the same venue where he played gigs three years ago that sold out in minutes, and which he frequented often over the years.
