Prince reportedly worked for 154 hours without sleep in the days before he was found dead inside his Paisley Park estate.
The musician was found collapsed in a lift by staff members on Thursday after last being seen alive 12 hours earlier.
His brother-in-law Maurice Phillips has claimed the singer worked for six days non-stop before his death.
Speaking after a private family service at the estate, Mr Phillips said: "He worked 154 hours straight.
"I was with him just last weekend. He was a good brother-in-law."
Meanwhile, Mr Phillips told The Sun that Prince's estate will be turned into a museum as a lasting memorial.
"It would be for the fans. He was all about the fans - this would remember his music, which is his legacy," he said.
"Prince was always private but would have wanted his music remembered."

Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death after authorities said they had "no reason to believe" Prince committed suicide.
Authorities added that there were "no obvious signs of trauma" on his body.
Employees at the Electric Fetus record shop in Minneapolis said the musician appeared to be "pale" and "weak" when he visited five days before his death.
Max Timander, who works at Electric Fetus, told the Press Association: "Everyone I've talked to on that Saturday said he looked kind of pale and he was not totally looking in the best shape as he normally is.
"It sounded like he was looking kind of weak. I know he had just got over the flu supposedly."
A state senator in Prince's home state of Minnesota has, meanwhile, called for it to adopt purple as its official colour, reported the St Paul Pioneer Press.
Sales of Prince's music have skyrocketed worldwide since the artist's death last week and several songs or albums are expected to make it into the next UK chart when it is published on Thursday.
The mayor of Chanhassan, the city which is home to Paisley Park, said a private funeral service would be held for Prince in early May.
