Chyna died too today (of WWF fame) ! Guess that puts a dent in her headline if he went on the same day. RIP (if it is true ) To Prince, eccentric guy but original and a real artist.

Very similar to Farrah Fawcett dying on the same day as Michael Jackson.

well maybe not quite as similar as I think FArrah had more fans. I see what you are saying though.. I thought she was still around!

I was never really into his music and only in recent years learned that he could rip it on guitar. One of my bands does Let's Go Crazy, which is a really fun tune to play. Will hit it this Sat at our gig.
57 is just way too young. Will be interesting to learn if there was more to it with this flu thing.

RIP

I'm reading AIDS.

a lot of people with aids go into hospital with flu or pneumonia and die from them, that would be sad indeed.

RIP

I'm reading AIDS.

The "butt flu"

Damn. It's a shame. I'm not a huge listener of his music, but I do have a lot of respect for him as an artist and creator, much like David Bowie. I always respect the innovative artists even if I'm not into their music personally. It seems like everyone is dying lately.

Took me awhile to find out what a monster player he was, he could bring it when he wanted. RIP

 

[SFW]

Was shocked to hear this. I was a huge fan of his music. He was a total badass.

Gonna miss that little freak. Really dug him in the 80s. Great show to go see,the chicks were always at the prince show. Some truly iconic tunes. He wrote one of my favorite sad tunes "nothing compares 2 U". During the emergence of the thrash scene,he was the only funk/dance/pop artist I really enjoyed.

Rumor has it that Axl is going to fill in for him on the remaining tour dates.

Too soon?
