Listening to “Purple Rain” cranked hard as I type this. RIP.

Did he go to Michel Jackson’s doctor for a race change operation?

I think it was the best one ever and with the “quality” of recent SB halftime shows it will probably never be surpassed.

HIV related complications. Don’t believe the OD spin although it may have been the immediate cause of death

If you saw the recent pics of him, he has a big-ass fro, now I’m thinking it must have been a wig to cover-up something.

Brilliant artist and performer. RIP.
Longevity isn’t common in that industry. But then there’s Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones, both still performing into their 70s.

Didn’t Michael name one of his “kids” Prince?

All these great artists are passing and Democrat politicians live forever.

It’s just wrong.

My guitar gently weeps

I enjoy music but not into playing. I do love excellence in anything because I know what practice and hard work is. I always wonder just how much practice it takes to do this with a guitar?

Took a girl so see 'Purple Rain' way back in the day. I always dug the keyboard dude with the scrubs and wraparound shades.

Saw an interview with Miles Davis years ago, and the host asked him who he thought was the best up and coming musician on the scene. Without hesitation, he said Prince.

He wasn’t known for drug abuse or alcohol. Maybe heart problems.

Happy to see him gone.
I don't own any of his music, but what the hell is wrong with you? Huh?
