Duuuuude, this is horrendous. I'm almost 30 so the timing of Prince and his music has affected my childhood greatly. My parents would do nothing but listen to Prince while driving around as a young buck (this kinda stuff gets embedded in your brain as a kid) This man is literally why I think I'm so funky and weird now. (Both wonderful things) So many energetic, sensual, funky motherfucking tracks. Such a wide array of production quality and instrumental talent. FUCK!

Please, please PLEASE go listen to the album Purple Rain if you have never heard Prince.

The first item I ever named in TF2 years ago when name tags came out was my Crusader's Crossbow named 'Erotic City' based on a super dope track by Prince and Shelia E. :(

EDIT: SOOO hard to find any Prince online but check out Erotic City here: http://tinyurl.com/zwnmcxz

God damn, what is it with this year? Prince was one of my grandma's absolute favourite musicians of all time so I grew up knowing of him, but she also never plays a whole lot of music around the house so I had the experience of "discovering" him for myself as I got older and more into music and the experience of listening to Purple Rain for the first time was amazing. RIP.

Really sucks all these legendary artists that die so young. 57 is not old at all which makes me wonder if there is more to this story than has been reported. Death from the flu alone is uncommon these days and the % continues to decrease every year in the US. I wondering of Prince was immune-suppressed from another disease or disorder ,like AIDS, and that is why the flu killed him. Either way, really sad news to read, his music will always been iconic and enjoyable listening.

I was talking to my mom about it and he apparently was recently hospitalized for having pneumonia, that could have done damage.

The most tragic death of the year (hopefully) Prince was an absolute monster of music.

This is the song that when I realized Prince wrote it, I noticed his real potential. I knew he was an outstanding performer, I knew he wrote his own music. But I never really understood how far his scope was as a musician.

PankeymanI'm gonna be really sad when Rob Halford dies. I think he still has a lot of time left, I hope.

Don't even say that. If he dies I will straight up cry. Judas Priest turned me into a metal head during my teens and is basically part of life at this point. There's a saying "You don't know metal if you don't know Screaming for Vengeance" (the album)

I had a feeling about this. Everything just did not seem right with this story and some things were missing. This was reported today:

That makes sense, given his flu.
