BOSTON (AP) — Fans of Prince have a chance to bid on a selection of the late star’s wardrobe and other items at an online auction this week. RR Auction of Boston, which is running the auction, said the collection includes more than 200 lots and was assembled by a French collector who had hoped to open a museum celebrating the musician. One of the highlights of the auction is a white ruffled shirt worn by Prince during his 1985 American Music Awards performance of the song “Purple Rain.” The auction house estimates its value at $15,000. Bidding closes on Thursday.
