Thread: Prince has died

RIP Little Red Corvette as the doves are crying. "A true visionary within the musical entertainment world."

On the Queen's birthday too, pity it was the wrong prince.

Technically, "The Artist Formerly Known as 'The Artist Formerly Known as Prince'" died.

Horrible, arrogant man whose talent was as small as his stature, no doubt a genius and an Icon to some though

You really are an inveterately miserable old git aren't you.

Can't understand why fans cry about this and others passing. Same with Bowie and the rest. The better they were, the more they left behind. Plenty of audio and video to sustain the acolytes.
Death is the only grammatically correct full stop.

I think it's more that it makes people think of their own mortality really.

There are certain generations that grow up listening to certain musicians - ascribing memories and events to certain songs and whatnot - and when that musician passes then it makes them reflect on their own lives.

Never liked his music. 57 is young to go.

Yes, but getting all emotional about someone who shared their talent on film and audio is a bit pointless. It aint gonna change nuffink is it?
With artistic types there is usually some kind of long term abuse going on in their lives. That does not reflect on me, even if there are chronological similarities. I am not artistic or troubled by substance abuse.

Oh yup, I more meant those feeling a bit pensive and reflective on it but there are always going to be those who take it too far and get all maudlin.

Personally I wasn't the biggest fan, probably only a couple of songs of his I like, but my first thought when I heard this was about being excited about getting the Batman soundtrack and going to see the movie as a kid. Good times.

From TMZ today:

Prince was treated for a drug overdose 6 days before his death

Rather surprising, I thought he was a devout Jehovah Witness.

Your talent and knowledge is just too little to pay respect.

Just have to Love this:

You have to be GREAT when your allowed to play at the biggest event.

Not hard to stand out as an entertainer when all you have to compete with is NFL. An event so elongated, just to spin more ads per minute. The players are involved in a sport where the greatest demand on their energy levels is just staying awake until the game ends and the concessions have sold out of hot dogs.

it's utter shite, he was an over rated dwarf

What did he die of? Underexposure?

Probably a safe guess it's either complications of AIDS or drug abuse.
