Here on the local news, they can't stop shutting up about it.

Also, doesn't Prince's logo remind you of Skinny Puppies?

I was driving when it was announced on the radio. I had to pull over and verify it.

Sad day.

It was drugs:

A super-gifted musical fuckin' genius who got the whole world to almost universally recognize it, what an inspirational motherfucker. And waaaaay more than Frank Sinatra ever did- he really did do it HIS way. His legend will probably be bigger than Jimi Hendrix's a hundred years.

Wouldn't go that far. JH's recording career is so short and he accomplished so much, no one is ever gonna touch him. RIP Prince.

He certainly produced some cracking music in his time.

One way or the other, everyone got in touch with this unique personality... for me, Prince is one of my most favorite artists together with D'Angelo. I never met him, so he sure will stay alive for me to the end of my lifetime. It wasn't only his music, it was his attitude towards it: uncompromising, yet, as nonchalant and easygoing as if he would breathe it, like we breathe air.

An exraordinary musician, will be sorely missed. Rest in Peace to the Insatiable, Paisley Park is in my Heart.

I think Prince was like James Brown- he kept performing even when he was ill. And he went to hospital recently, but didn't want to stay there, even though the doctors wanted him to.
James Brown wanted to keep up an image of invincibility, which was part of his approach to fame/show business (as an example to motivate his fans to get their own act together). Maybe Prince was like a lot of celebrities, in that they don't want to show weakness publicly. He was also eccentric, like Michael Jackson.
They are saying it might have been a drug overdose (or flu), but his religion says followers can't do drugs or get drunk.

Ugh, I didn't realize he had become a Jehovah's Witness. Oh, well. At least he wasn't a Scientologist.

And I think JHs are allowed to drink alcohol, they're just not allowed to get drunk. But yeah, a no drunkenness, no drugs thing would have been hard for Prince.

Guy was a massive twat but had the skills to back it up. Also legendary Chappelle's Show story, wish I had seen that basketball game.

Bit sad to drop dead at 57. I really cannot stand him or his music.

I was really surprised when I heard this last night too; he seemed like a guy that would have had another good two decades or more to go at least. I've only got one of his greatest hits albums, but I've always liked his stuff, and while I've never seen him live, I've heard from several people that he really was a virtuoso on stage. Another of our music legends gone . . .

Autopsy has been completed and showed no known cause of death yet. Usually that means drugs were involved.

He also was sent to the hospital the previous week for a big Percoset overdose, not because he had the flu. Bet you $10 he was addicted to them and OD'd again. Its believed he started taking it back in 2010 when he had hip surgery.

His influence is everywhere, it seems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8vZTB9Zv7k

Played Purple Rain tonight with the band to honor a musical giant.
