There is a vault containing unreleased music and archival footage from Prince, which is controlled by his estate. A judge has recently denied a request from Prince’s siblings to move the vault away from Hollywood due to the ongoing Southern California wildfires.

As Entertainment Weekly reports: in court documents obtained by The Blast, Comerica Bank & Trust, the representatives of Prince’s estate, opposed the proposed move because they feel the Iron Mountain facility that houses the vault, which includes archives of unreleased music, is far enough from the fires and not in immediate danger.

Lawyers for Comerica wrote in a letter to the judge, “Had the Nelsons contacted the Personal Representative prior to filing their petition, or even conducted a basic ‘Google’ search, they would have learned that the Hollywood Facility is not at any risk from wildfires.”
