The Star Tribune has an in-depth report on the current legal status of Prince's estate. Lawyers say that Prince's sister and surviving half-siblings are "on the same page" as they move forward with their claim to the estate; a woman in Chicago has come forward claiming to be another half-sibling. Meanwhile, a claim by a California man who said he had an "implied agreement" with Prince over music rights has been dismissed as frivolous. MPR News profiles sister Tyka Nelson and Prince's other known siblings.

Also, the Star Tribune and other sources are reporting that Prince was scheduled to meet with a doctor who specializes in treatments including addiction and chronic pain.

Steven Tyler stepping out solo

Steven Tyler has announced a solo tour where, he says, he'll both play his new country songs and rework his Aerosmith hits. "What would I not pay to go see [Paul] McCartney, but instead of playing with whoever he's with now, actually do [a show] where he tells you what he was thinking when he wrote ‘Yesterday’?" says the singer. "That's what I'm doing. I figured I'd talk about 'Sweet Emotion' and 'Dream On' and where I was when I wrote it, and 'Seasons of Wither' and how I played it." The tour doesn't include any Minnesota dates, but Tyler will play in Chicago on Aug. 13. (Rolling Stone)
