Statement released by, Allan C. Vella, President and CEO, Fox Theatre, Atlanta.  Beginning in 1982, Prince performed 12 shows at Fox Theatre including most recently April 14, his last public concerts.

Prince was a music pioneer, innovator and cultural icon. His music moved and inspired many, including the fans that were able to join him as he took the stage for his final performances last week at Atlanta’s Fox Theatre. We, along with the world, mourn the loss of a music legend.
