I've been left with so many good Prince stories by a friend who used to work for him! I wonder what could have taken him so soon.

Sad.

Spent a lot of time dancing to this man's work.

Really loved the two jazz-funk albums done in 1987 as "Madhouse" - anyone know where to find these?

Crazy. I literally thought I was hearing things because I was sleeping with the news on and didn't believe it and went back to sleep. I remember he played a sold out show in Denver way back when and then did an impromptu free show at this place called The Church. I knew people who worked there and he tipped very well. RIP.

Jesus, we are losing all of our icons!

I'd imagine they would be pretty damn easy to torrent today.

Internet rumor is - he lost his battle against HIV/AIDS.

Here's his setlist I am recalling all the way back from Oct 6th, 1997 -- which would place him a little younger than the age I am now.

Damn. Prince seemed to have had the same face, look and energy since he debuted so I didn't see this coming. His peers like Madonna seemed to be fighting a running retreat from age, looks and relevancy wise, but Prince always seemed ageless.

Incidentally it is interesting that Chuck Berry (89) and Little Richard (83) are still going strong.

Love that; true, sad and funny at the same time.

What I liked about Prince was while he definitely seemed to play/experiment with his image he also seemed not to be able to be anything but who he was. I could see him still being just as extravagant if he had ended up working in a vintage store in Minneapolis.

Also, you know he was into weird shit. Him and Bowie are no doubt fist bumping in some outer dimension right now.

I read in a comments section that there was a blind item gossip/news story going around recently that said that a famous black American artist was secretly an HIV patient but that the disease was under control due to medication. Then some religious freaks/cultists supposedly got their claws in him somehow and convinced him to quit the medication. And here we are.



Prince was a Jehovah's Witness, no?

Prince was a Jehovah's Witness, no?

Yes, can you imagine answering the door and Prince being there to talk about The Watchtower?

Prince joined the Jehovah's Witnesses in 2001 following a two-year-long debate with friend and fellow Jehovah's Witness musician Larry Graham. Prince said that he didn't consider it a conversion, but a "realization". "It's like Morpheus and Neo in The Matrix," he explained. He attended meetings at a local Kingdom Hall and occasionally knocked on people's doors to discuss his faith.[182] Prince reportedly needed double hip-replacement surgery since 2005 but wouldn't undergo the operation unless it was a bloodless surgery because Jehovah's Witnesses do not accept blood transfusions.[183] The condition was rumored to be aggravated by repeated onstage dancing in high-heeled boots.[184]

this from a private investors board :

'Its like the rapture is taking place in slow motion this year.
Another icon gone.
Both him and victoria wood, gone at such a young age.'

does seem be quite a haul for 4 months in........
