Music icon Prince, has always been a disbeliever of putting his music to online streaming services as he used to pursue people who put unauthorized clips of his songs and performances on YouTube. However, BBC has reported that all of the artist's songs from 1978 to 1996 will be available on Spotify and other streaming services such as Apple Music and Napster starting Sunday, ahead of the Grammy Awards.

Prince was still one of the most successful recording artists of 2016 even though his music wasn't available from the said streaming services.

Following the artist's death last year, a judge has ruled that something has to be done in order to cover Prince's pending state and federal taxes. The latter didn't have a will that essentially made things that much more difficult. It is reported that Prince's estate owes $100 million in taxes.

In addition to the announcement, Prince's team have also arranged to license unreleased recordings of the artist to Universal Music. The company also now have the rights to around 25 of his albums which include "Emancipation," "3121" and "Musicology."

Fans of the late artist will now be able to stream their favorite albums such as "Purple Rain," "1999," Diamonds and Pearls," "The Black Album" and "Around the World in a Day," just to name a few.

Prince's music will return on streaming services on Sunday, Feb. 12.

Prince died at his home at Paisley Park on April 21, 2016. Emergency responders found him unresponsive in an elevator and were not able to revive him. There were no signs of foul play. It was later revealed that the cause of death was an accidental overdose of fentanyl. He was only 57 years old.
