"Together, the family is planning an official memorial service and public event to take place in the near future."
The statement continued: "Prince and his music influenced so many people that we feel inspired to celebrate his life and legacy in just the right way. We appreciate the public’s patience and have been comforted by your outpouring of love, support and condolences. We look forward to sharing with the world this celebration of, and farewell to, our Prince. Details will be coming soon."
Reports had surfaced that a private ceremony was held last month at Paisley Park.
Also on Friday, a judge authorized Prince's blood to be DNA tested as "parentage issues might arise." According to a court document (below), the testing can be used "for any purpose relevant to the administration of the Estate."
