Sister of pop music superstar Obituary – Cause of Death :

Tyka Nelson, Sister of Prince, Allegedly Passes Away

MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota — It’s being reported that Tyka Nelson, the only full sibling of pop music icon Prince, has died at the age of 64. According to various sources, she passed away on Monday at North Memorial Health Hospital in Robbinsdale, Minnesota. Her son, President Nelson, mentioned that the cause of death won’t be known for a few days, which leaves many family and fans in suspense.

Tyka Nelson was not just known as Prince’s sister; she was also a musician in her own right. The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that she released four albums between 1988 and 2011. Just this past June, she was set to perform a farewell concert but had to pull out due to health issues. In her own words, she expressed, “I really wasn’t a singer. I’m a writer. I just happen to be able to sing. I enjoy singing.”

Her father, John L. Nelson, collaborated with Prince on several projects, adding another layer to the musical legacy that runs through their family. Despite being one of six siblings, Tyka was Prince’s only full sibling, making her an important figure in his life and career.

Notably, Prince himself passed away in 2016 from an accidental drug overdose, which adds a poignant chapter to the family’s story. Tyka is survived by her two sons, President and Sir, along with five grandchildren, a reminder that her legacy will continue through them. Fans and family alike are mourning her loss and remembering the unique contributions she made to the world of music.
