Prince had faced numerous challenges by 2004, including a public feud with his record label, a name change to an unpronounceable symbol, and a bold display of the word "slave" on his cheek. He was also grieving the loss of his son with wife Mayte Garcia. Despite his devastation, Prince threw himself into his work, releasing his album Musicology and performing with Beyoncé at the Grammy Awards. His induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by Alicia Keys and a tribute to George Harrison helped restore his prominence.
