    Not sure what is going on , there are fans flocking to Paisley Park and that's where the local news crews and cops etc... are there. They said his plane made an emergency landing on Friday due to him being very ill from the flu, but he played a show later that night at Paisley, but hadn't been seen since. I Knew him and my ex had bought a sound board from him..... we are in shock and very saddened....

    His protege, Vanity, died this year as well. He had to land his plane due to a health issue last week and I did say to myself, "Please don't let him be next like Bowie et al."

    Oh and screw TMZ. They're the reason I don't 100 percent believe yet. If true, RIp.

    On that note, I should be grateful I just subscribed to Tidal now that his music is on there.

    Damn. Wouldn't call myself a huge fan overall but he sure was talented and seemed like a gentle man.

    Agree. Sorry I never got to see him perform. A friend who's a big fan said he was phenomenal live.

    Only one fourth of the through 2016 and we've lost far too many great ones in the world of music. Also add Merle Haggard to the seemingly growing list. He was a gem in the world of music period.....on his first album he played every instrument on that album...He was a superior talent.

    RIPeace

    A masterfully talented multi-instrumentalist. He will be missed, but at least his music will live on. RIP, Prince.

    I just posted that - Prince was on my bucket list too. People I know who saw him live said he was unbelievable. Breaks my heart.

    Man. 2016 is not the year for musicians.

    Was never a big Prince fan, but I like some of his songs and recognize his talent. RIP.

    Never was a huge fan, but I can respect the guy for being a talented musician.
    So very sad.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    I'm sad. His music made us dance. 1999 was a great song. That song was played every new years eve in the 90s.

    This is heartbreaking.

    To me he didn't tour much but I was lucky enough to see him on the Controversy and the Purple Rain tours. When he did go on tour tickets were so hard to get but I am one the lucky ones to see him in his early years.


    Dearly beloved
    We are gathered here today
    To get through this thing called life

    Electric word life
    It means forever and that's a mighty long time
    But I'm here to tell you
    There's something else
    The after world

    A world of never ending happiness
    You can always see the sun, day or night

    So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
    You know the one, Dr. Everything'll Be Alright
    Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
    Ask him how much of your mind, baby

    'Cause in this life
    Things are much harder than in the after world
    In this life
    You're on your own

    And if the elevator tries to bring you down
    Go crazy, punch a higher floor...
