She added:

“Prince’s remains have been cremated and their final storage will remain private. We ask for your blessings and prayers of comfort for his family and close friends at this time.”

Tributes have poured in from all parts, including the White House, the Coachella music festival and late-night television shows. Reports have also surfaced that the star may have had an addiction to painkillers or suffered an overdose. At a press conference on Friday, Carver County, Minnesota, Sheriff Jim Olson fought back tears as he said that there were “no obvious signs of trauma” on Prince’s body and that “there is no reason to believe at this point that it was a suicide.”

In her statement about the memorial service, Noel-Schure also wrote:

“The cause of death remains unknown and it will be at least four weeks before we receive the results of the autopsy. An announcement will be made at a future date for a musical celebration.”
