Prince died April 21, at the age of 57.

In another tribute, SiriusXM satellite radio will be playing Prince’s music — as well as “music by artists that Prince was closely linked to, inspired by and collaborated with,” according to a message on its web site — on its channel 50. SiriusXM has not yet announced how long the channel will stay devoted to Prince.
