And finally… purple pain

The estate of singer Prince has issued a statement requesting that US President Donald Trump stop using the song Purple Rain at rallies.

At recent events, including one in Mississippi, the playlist has featured the track, word of which reached the late artist’s estate.

His half brother, Omarr Baker, tweeted: “The Prince Estate has never given permission to President Trump or the White House to use Prince’s songs and have requested that they cease all use immediately,” the Star Tribune reports.
