I can't play Prince anymore?

[domodee]

Whenever I search any of Prince's albums and try to play the song on my Android, it just does nothing. By the way, I do have a premium account.

Hello there and welcome to the community,

It happened 2 days ago.

"Prince publisher has asked all streaming services to remove his catalog. Spotify has cooperated with the request, and hope to bring his music back as soon as possible." ==> That's the statement you can find on the artist page on Spotify.

good thing i pirated all that music before this bull**bleep** move.

So sad! And Prince's entire catalog of music has been removed from Spotify! But he wrote a lot of songs for other artists--at least we can still listen to those: https://open.spotify.com/user/ursongbird/playlist/4Gkg41a1Pua7dHdJjvbW9K

Wow...I thought I was going crazy.  I have a huge Prince playlist saved...and of course today I planned on listening to it. Glad this was posted.
