Representatives for Prince?s estate are nearing a deal that could have some of the artist?s greatest hits available for streaming on major services like Spotify and Apple Music in time for the Grammy Awards, a source close to the situation confirms to Billboard. (The news was first reported on Bloomberg.)
The Grammys are planning a major tribute to Prince, for which The Weeknd, Rihanna and Bruno Mars have been discussed or approached, the source says. Prince, who won several Grammys and appeared on the show several times, died of an accidental drug overdose on April 21 at the age of 57.
A likely scenario would see a TV commercial air during the Grammy broadcast following the tribute, which would announce that certain songs are immediately available on Spotify and Apple Music. The source tells Billboard that publishers, performing rights organizations and at least one label have been alerted to an impending deal.
Reps for Prince?s estate, Spotify, Apple Music, The Weeknd, Rihanna and Bruno Mars had not responded to Billboard?s request for comment at press time.

Bruno. Do we need that tho? Can't we mix it up a bit? I'm purple rained tf OUT
Idk about Rih...
Rih's voice is more miss than hit.
:dead: this will be interesting
I honestly dont need to hear anything from the weekend tho. He's so terrible to me smh
I could see Weeknd slaying 'I Wanna Be Your Lover' after I Feel It Coming
I don't want to hear Rihanna ruin Prince's classics omg :dead: all those failed notes.
Not worried about Bruno or Weekned tho. They have the falsetto and are influenced by Prince.

She's certainly better than the weekend tho. honestly none of them need to be doing this
Let's move on. love prince but just show a video montage of him slaying and keep it moving. Did we do all this for MJ? Ch
She's really not tho :dead:
Is Weeknd a good live performer?
Honestly, Prince was nobody's singer so his songs arent hard to sing.......at all :dead:
The weekends voice just isn't enjoyable. Like he's honestly THE WORST. They need to shuffle that spot to Miguel or somebody

Yeah we did
MJ had a tribute at every award show. The 2009 BET Awards' entire show was dedicated to him. Then they followed up in 2010 with the Chris Brown tribute performance to him (the last time Chris really slayed me on stage).

Yes but he can do bad when he's nervous and too focused on trying to hit the notes.

Well she did do it well when she did it. I just feel like I've seen it already. I wanna see some people i don't expect. That's why i liked seeing maxwell and bilal on BET
well Miguel definitely deserves a chance he has been a walking tribute for a while

Quee' was APPROACH!
Key word. :-D I don't really think She does Tributes like that, No shade. I mean Sis may Take a bit a time out to give some Bob Mar', Sizla, Buju or some other Reggae mess during her Touring realm.....but Outside of that its kind of a NO, now that she is in control. ^_^ just a preference I think she sort of holds when it comes to her Career.
Maybe St!nk, or Bilal? EEK I think they should let Bey do some mess like her Pouncing out in the Pink getup and Tina turn' bouffant Wig from 04'! Sis prepares a sickening Theatrical vocal beforehand that she could just GATHER thw stage to! Good Lighting....Even better Angles..
HISTORY!
