Prince dead at Paisley Park estate in Minnesota Age 57
Prince is dead at 57, Fox 9 has confirmed through multiple sources. Carver County Chief Deputy Jason Kamerud confirmed a response to a medical call at 9:43 a.m at Prince's Paisley Park estate in Chanhassen, Minnesota. I am saddened, but not shocked. TMZ had also said he'd been battling the flu for three weeks. THREE WEEKS? Then it sure wasn't the flu! |

I hope his religion didn't play a part in this |
Really really sad!!

And now we've lost Prince too.... My Prince story is remembering seeing him with my BFF Kelly sometime in the mid to late 90's and it being the most expensive concert ticket I'd ever bought (at the time). And the little SOB came out and played for an hour and left. Now I'll give credit where credit is due--he put on an amazing show for that mere hour and I I considered him the best guitarist I'd seen in person at the time. But Kelly and I were very unhappy that we had paid so much for the tickets (face value) and he only played an hour and then he went and played at a club for free for two hours. What I will always remember most is that he did a cover of Joan Osborne's song One of Us. He was a musical genius. I recently heard on EW radio that he has music and material stored up so that they can release "new" stuff for years and years after his death because he was so prolific. A true artist and visionary. RIP, Prince. I hope you've found your peace.

From Jon on Bon Jovi's Facebook:
I'm crushed by the news that one of the greatest inspirations in music EVER has passed. I was lucky enough to have met him many times And to call him a friend... PRAYERS to his family and to all who loved his genius... JBJ |
First time I saw Prince was at the UK Music Hall of Fame 10 years ago, where Bon Jovi were also there.
A year later, I was lucky to get a ticket to one of his 21 Nights at The O2. Prince, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson.......3 Legends I'm never gonna forget :( |

Perhaps the marketing team was off that day? ;) |
"You don't have to show us no stinking autopsy!"
As per usual, TMZ isn't wasting time on trivialities like the body getting cold...

Anyone want to talk about Prince's music? What are your favorite Prince songs?
Mine top three are, in no particular order: Cream Seven My Name is Prince |
Preferred his earlier funky stuff:
:oops: Prince was no advocate of the Internet age, but considering all the trouble he went through with his record labels, that's quite understandable. P.S. And he hired the most adorable backup guitarist for his 1999 tour! |
few sources saying he had AIDs. Probably b0ll0cks.
|
My personal faves were When Doves Cry, Purple Rain, Diamonds and Pearls & Gold
|
Godspeed. The amount of musical bases covered in this piece, let alone in such a natural and free-flowing manner, is incredible. Guy really had his own unique brand of style. |
What tribute to Prince could be complete
|
^^^ I've always labeled that as the greatest Superbowl performance ever :)

BET delivered on their bravado -- not so much because of the higher talent level of who they employed to perform, but because their tribute celebrated the full spectrum of Prince's artistic skills and contributions: And in a gargantuan double smackdown of Madonna and Billboard, Roots drummer Questlove (who introduced the Billboard tribute and defended Madonna online) and Stevie Wonder (last seen being led onstage by Madonna) both accepted BET's invitation to "redeem" themselves! |
