On 2 May 2016, the satire web site The Onion published an article claiming that Prince's music vault contained nothing but Billy Joel cover songs: The Onion is a well-known humor and satire web site, but some people encountered the article on social media, where its source was not readily apparent. While there is no truth to this story, the article (like most in The Onion) is at least based on real events. Prince reportedly had thousands of unreleased songs in a vault when he passed away. According to a report filed by ABCNews on 29 April 2016, the vault was drilled open and contains enough material to release an album every year for the next 100 years: As of 2 May 2016, exactly what music Prince's vault contains is still unknown. We do know, however, that the claim that Prince's music vault was full of nothing but Billy Joel cover songs originated with a humorous and satirical web site, and it would be extremely surprising if it turned out to be true.
