This lot features the actual drill bit used to open Prince's vault at his Paisley Park home in Chanhassen, MN after he passed away in April of 2016. Prince is regarded as one of history's All-Time Great musicians and was known for his especially flamboyant personality. Prince was immensely talented as evidenced by the fact that he mastered so many different instruments. His music also incorporated a wide array of styles, including funk, R&B, rock, new wave, soul, pop, jazz, blues, and hip hop. Prince produced his albums himself. He was simply one of the most talented and popular musicians to ever grace the stages. He was taken from us way too soon in April 2016 at the age of only 57.
** This lot originates from the personal collection of Chad Litherland who worked for Prince from 2002-2005 and will be accompanied by a signed letter of provenance from Litherland. **
