Stevie has spoken.

She must be quite upset first Glenn now Prince.

Aw man, this just completely breaks my heart!!! This has got to be really hard for Stevie. So sad.

Even though I've never been a Prince fan, his impact is undeniable. R.I.P.

I was never a huge Prince fan but realize and understand his musical genius. Stevie loved Little Red Corvette so much that she wrote one of her biggest songs and asked him to play on it. In addition, Stevie added the line "I know what it sounds like when doves cry" live during Edge of 17. She was playing on her doves and his doves.
During Red Beard's interview in 2013, Christine McVie admitted being a huge Prince fan and Rasberry Beret was one of her favorite songs ever. Chris told the story that she woke up in a hotel room sometime in 1985 and MTV was on and Prince's video was on and she instantly loved the song and felt like dancing.

I'm starting to believe God wants to form a Rock 'n' Roll band

I wish he wanted to form a new political party instead

Like the rest of you, I am in complete shock at the news (and Chyna too) of his passing. Now it forces me to learn a LOT about the guy like he was a Jehovah's Witness, didn't vote and was a registered Republican in MN and was against gay marriage? Who knew?? Anyone else have any random Prince "Who Knew" facts???

I know he was crazy against piracy and because of this you can't find on the internet any audio or video (official or not) of his at all.

I fully welcome Prince to join me today as a King. Your time on Earth will be remembered.

Perhaps that explains why several reports say he was allegedly $$Broke$$ and hadn't been paying tax or real estate tax bills???

Regardless, sad that he passed. He was truly talented................

Stunned. We've been getting this news all the time for months but I never would have thought Prince. Only 57 and seemed in relatively good shape. When Michael Jackson died at 49 it was a shock but he had been living a self destructive lifestyle for years and had a lot of personal issues. I thought Prince was vegan and living a relatively quiet life. He was very private. Though he had not had major chart success lately I presume he was still very wealthy and could afford the best care for health issues.

*(I am now seeing conflicting estimates of his wealth. Who knows?)

He had the 'bad boy' image in the 1980s that inspired Michael Jackson into roughening up his image and sound. It was ironic how those roles reversed in time because Prince hardly even seemed to age. But yet another reminder of mortality even this day and age whoever you are. I've recently had a major personal loss and this time has been a real shakeup for me in general.

IIRC, Prince had NOT been healthy at all during his life. He needed hip replacements (both sides) and also had seizures as a kid. His latest comments were very prophetic though.
