You can imagine that even if Prince had not shuffled off this mortal coil, these items of fan memorabilia would have sold for a pretty penny - but whoever bought the below items must have been an avid fan (with deep pockets).
The ruffled shirt and blazer that the late musician wore in the iconic 'Purple Rain' film were sold at auction over the weekend, fetching $96,000 EACH after they were sold to unnamed buyers.
