Prince's family has announced that they are planning a public memorial service to honor the late singer.
The memorial will be open to fans, and while details have not been released, it will take place some time in the near future.
Their statement reads:
"We would like everyone to know that, contrary to previous and current reports, there has been no memorial, funeral or tribute service for Prince that was organized or authorized by the family or Paisley Park representatives.
"Together, the family is planning an official memorial service and public event to take place in the near future.
"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."
Prince was found dead last month in his Paisley Park residence near Minneapolis.
He was just 57 years old.
While a cause of death is still unknown, fans and officials suspect drugs may have played a role.
The singer was said to have been taking the painkiller Percoset to relieve discomfort in his hips, and the drug was in his system at the time of his death.
A report also claims that the music legend had sought out an outpatient treatment program to try and move away from taking the drugs.
None of this serves as confirmation that Prince died of an overdose or that drugs were related, but provides insight as to what may have led to his death.
Toxicology reports are still pending at the time of this writing.
