I was shock to learn this news just minutes ago. So young and now he's gone.

 

[Alf S]

Wow. RIP Prince

Sad news. First Bowie and now Prince.

 

[Lord Dalek]

Sad news. First Bowie and now Prince.

Yeah and with Elton John's recent health problems I fear the worst.

 

[TravisR]

If I'm being honest, I only really know his radio hits but even that little sampling tells me that the man was a unique and extraordinarily talented musician.

 

[Malcolm R]

The music superstars of the 80's haven't fared well in recent years. Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, David Bowie, now Prince. All gone at a relatively young age.

 

[Bryan^H]

A true genius of the rock world
Did you know he wrote "Nothing Compares To You" that huge hit performed by Sinead O'Conner, and Manic Monday for The Bangles?

rest in peace.

This is probably more shocking to me than Bowie simply due to the age difference. Prince lived a fairly clean lifestyle and was a vegetarian. Another sad, sad loss for the rest of us.

 

[Aaron Silverman]

He wrote a lot of songs for other artists, many of which he also performed at his own concerts.

Absolutely one of the greatest performers of his era. His shows were incredible.

2016 was already out of control with the musical deaths.

Never knew that. Can't say I was a fan, but he was very talented. 57 is way to young to go.

 

[Mikael Soderholm]

Such a sad loss, a truy talented artist, and VERY underrated guitarist.

 

[Bob Gu]

His protégé, Vanity died in February. She was 57.

RIP Prince.
This year isn't any good for celebrity deaths. Too many are being taken away.

 

[Tony Bensley]

Such a sad loss, a truy talented artist, and VERY underrated guitarist.

Agreed! Just listen to Prince's crazy guitar work on Let's Go Crazy! He will be missed!

 

[Oliver Ravencrest]

I didn't know a lot of his music but the ones I did like we really good. I never really appreciated just how good of a musician he really was. I recently watched Purple Rain for the first time in a long time, it was better that I had remembered. He died too young.

RIP

 

[Sam Posten]

Very sad, but in his own words life is just a party and parties weren't meant to last

 

[Josh Steinberg]

Watching "Batman" now to remember him...Batdance!

(BTW, first time watching the Blu-ray on my projector...this isn't exactly a state of the art disc, is it?)

So, starting to see some reports that indicate maybe not such a clean lifestyle.
