Minneapolis musician Tyka Nelson, Prince’s only full sibling, died Monday. She was 64. Her son President Nelson says she died at a hospital in Robbinsdale, Minnesota. A cause of death was not immediately available. Nelson, a singer-songwriter, released four albums across her career, starting with 1988’s “Royal Blue.” That album produced her biggest hits, “Marc Anthony’s Tune,” which peaked at No. 33 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, and “L.O.V.E.,” which topped at No. 52. Nelson was scheduled to perform a farewell concert in Minneapolis in June but did not take the stage because of illness. Nelson was born two years after Prince, who died in 2016.
