Audio of Prince's final show emerges on SoundCloud before death Photo:

Audio has emerged online from Prince's final show, which was just one week before the singer's unexpected death. Check it out below. 

As Idolator reports, there is now a full stream of Prince's final show in Atlanta's Fox Theatre. 

Prior to his death, and in great Prince fashion, the singer played two incredible sets. Not only were they the average blow away Prince sets, but the show in Atlanta's Fox Theatre was part of the singer's Piano & A Microphone tour. At the first set, he covered 'Heroes' - in tribute to the late, great, David Bowie, who we also lost this year.

The shows were more intimate than Prince's usual full-band set up. Still, the setlist covered all of Prince's hits, from early in his career all the way through to later on. 

Everything about the audio is poignant. You can here the singer's revered showmanship, even when it's just him and a piano. We'll never see the likes of him again. Enjoy his second and final set of the evening below. 

More information has emerged today (25 April) about the singer's death. His brother-in-law has now said that the singer would work "154 hours straight". 

Prince was found dead in his Minnesota home, 21 April 2016.
