Prince’s sister Tyka Nelson revealed something very interesting in a recent interview on The Today Show.
Speaking to co-host Al Roker, Nelson revealed how Prince's doves reacted to his death.
The rock icon’s pet birds Majesty and Divinity stopped singing.
“After he passed, they weren’t talking,” she said. “It didn’t feel the same . . . So when I first came in [to Paisley Park after Prince’s death], I was like, ‘Where’s the doves? What’s going on?’ [His staff] said, ‘They’re up there. They’re just not talking.’
"I said, ‘Well you need to play some Prince music.’”
Fortunately, once Prince’s music was played throughout his home, the birds started singing again.
Roker told Nelson about hearing the birds before the interview. “I heard these sounds when I was here earlier and it is literally doves crying right now,” he said.
Prince died in April at 57.
