He gone.


I never really liked him when I was younger, but his music grew on me when I started getting older. I liked his Superbowl performance a few years ago.

Last I heard they hadn't confirmed officially if it was him or not.
Just a death at his estate.

TMZ is saying he's dead though...through people that knew him.

Coco(Ice-T's wife) said he died from the Flu.

Same, I couldn't stand him when I was younger but I became a big fan of his as I grew older.

True musical genius.

Grew up listening to Prince. He was an enigma. The "Symbol", The Artist formerly known as.... Gone too soon.

One of the most talented, versatile, musicians of this generation. The thing I liked about Prince was that he never let anyone define who he was. Hell, if the guy wanted to do a country song I'm sure he could have knocked it out of the park. I saw him back in 85' during the Purple Rain tour. One of the best shows I've ever seen. He's got the respect of this head-banger for sure.

X 3 although it was more I didn't care for him in my youth.
But yes turned out that I grew to appreciate his music as genius and versatility was great.

Way back in the early eighties, my girlfriend and I went to a Rolling Stones concert in the Los Angeles Coliseum the opening act was Prince and nobody knew who he was after about the third song The Rock and Roll drunk and high crowd was booing him soon they were throwing bottles and they stopped playing Mick Jagger came out on stage grab the mic and said hey if you guys don't stop and give this guy respect we're not coming out things calmed down considerably after that. LoL

True Story ! Woohoo

Also heard he's got a vault of unreleased material. Needless to say we haven't heard the last from him. RIP Mr Prince

Dude was a real artist in every sense.
He also didn't hesitate to speak his mind about politics, TPTB, and the cabal known as "the Hollywood music industry." RIP.

There is a different version of that story on the interwebs which says he wrote the song for another project he was involved with.

"Manic Monday" is a song by the American pop rock band The Bangles, and the first single released from their second studio album, Different Light (1986). It was written by American musician Prince, using the pseudonym "Christopher". Originally intended for the group Apollonia 6 in 1984, he offered the song to The Bangles two years later. Lyrically, it describes a woman who is waking up to go to work on Monday, wishing it were still Sunday where she could relax.
