PRINCE: Bank explains why records were removed
The bank administering Prince's estate has responded to the recent suit by several of the late rocker's family members.
Comerica Bank says it removed Prince's archive of recordings and video after finding "indications of damage and degradation due to poor humidity and temperature controls." Officials cited cardboard boxes stuck to shelves that "had to be peeled off, mold and water damage on the materials, rusting film canisters, degrading film that smelled of vinegar (a sign of physical deterioration), and evidence of water intrusion on walls and ceilings in the vault and elsewhere." On top of that, Comerica voiced security concerns connected to Paisley Park being open to the public.
Prince's half siblings Sharon Nelson, Norrine Nelson and John Nelson had sued last month to remove Comerica from managing Prince's assets after the bank removed the recordings from Paisley Park. (Variety)
