“It is with profound sadness that I am confirming that the legendary, iconic performer, Prince Rogers Nelson, has died at his Paisley Park residence this morning at the age of 57,” [his publicist] said in a statement. “There are no further details as to the cause of death at this time.”
I did not want to believe this, but multiple sources are reporting. RIP Prince.

Burger Rain by the Aquabats probably the best pisstake of prince i have ever seen 😂
-
Don't know who he is and don't think I heard any of those songs so i don't care
-
Rick astley is next
-
I'm gonna be honest, I had no idea there was even such a musician called [i]Prince[/i] prior to his death, people talk about and praise him as much as people did Michael Jackson though so R.I.P to Prince, he must have been great.
-
For a guy who was 5'2, he knew how to reel in the pus
-
More importantly Chyna died at 45 yesterday too
-
I have no idea who that is
-
No way am I hating on prince, mad respect for such a talented musician/artist... But does anyone think he died from drugs? Prescription drugs possibly?
-
Meh just another lame American singer
-
It's so sad that when the queen became 90 the prince died
-
On April 15th someone on Twitter PREDICTED his death within the next two weeks.... [spoiler]His account was suspended and is no longer accessible[/spoiler]

I try not to be one of those people who freaks out when famous people die, but as a musician Prince was one of my idols. He was by far one of the most talented and inspiring individuals of the past century. I started listening to his music when I was very young and he was one of the people who first made me want to pick up a guitar. I'm so incredibly heartbroken and distraught. Today is a sad day And like honestly Prince was the definition of sexy. I always joked that he’s the only man I’d ever bang and I stand by that. He made androgyny and even femininity in men cool, and I think the men of the world should take a note from his playbook. Prince wore heels and makeup and was overall pretty as hell and he gave zero shits about any criticism that came his way because of it. He singlehandedly redefined masculinity and we should be celebrating him as a fashion icon as well as a music icon.

You just now found this out? I woke up to prince on Thursday. I didn't even know who he was!?!
-
I wonder how much his guitar is worth now.
-
Just don't take Paul McCartney or Eric Clapton.
-
Bad year for incredible musicians. RIP in peace Prince.

Edited by STRANGERTINE: 4/24/2016 12:44:18 AMI hadn't realized that my kids had no idea who Prince was. So I'm making up for it. Been playing prince in the house nonstop. Probably more for me than them. I'm super sad about losing him. And I probably haven't listened to his music in ten years. It's always sucky when the world loses a beloved artist. But few leave a gaping void that immediately needs filling. Michael Jackson, James Brown, Elvis, Bowie, and Prince. The entire world has wept for them. To Elton John, Mick Jagger, Steven Tyler, Madonna, Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, James Hettfield, Tony Bennett: please, wait until next year.

I heard that they cremated him
-
Tasteful tribute that I honestly didn't anticipate.
