Prays for Prince

[Denver]

Please not again

[Alf]

It's always a mystery when the artist formally known as is in involved.

I'll believe it when it's confirmed, but I'm doubtful.

[Nicky91]

praying for Prince

It's now confirmed

[Ryan57]

NO! :( I am absolutely gutted. :(

[Pete.]

So weird that both MJ and Prince are now gone arguably the biggest males in pop

[Nicky91]

RIP Prince :( :( :(


a legend gone too soon, just like MJ

[Alf]

So weird that both MJ and Prince are now gone arguably the biggest males in pop

I remember being so relieved last week when he only had a short stint at the hospital. Awful news.

[Denver]

[Alf]

Don't think you'll get one from him on YT so here's a song of his by another artist

-ZCiHsIfrOg

[arista]

Sad Day for music
he could play many instruments
And was Great on Electric Guitar.

His Recent Music was doing good
with one young musician helping him.


I assume bad heart or something like that
he will be missed

[LaLaLand]

I just can't cope with this year. Chyna was a huge shock for me this morning and now one of my favourite artists ever has gone.

R.I.P. such a huge loss to the world of music.

No he kept fit.
But being thin
with Severe Flu
may have been the problem

He got Ill on his own Jet
and that made a Emergency landing
then to Hospital.
Then he went back home.

This year just gets worse and worse for celebrity deaths

The Sheriff's department says Prince was found in an elevator at Paisley Park. They performed CPR, but were unable to revive him. He was pronounced dead on the scene at 10:07 AM Central Time.

:(

It still hasn't sunk in for me. I'm still so shocked. :(

Edit: The last song he sung was Purple Rain.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's some more twists in the story of how he died, nothing's ever that simple with Prince.

[Shaun]

I know it's silly to care about things like this but it's sad to see the only time acts like him are going to chart now are when they die... I know expecting all of the legends to regularly do well in the charts is naive with how varied music is today but there's something a bit macabre about the masses only really bothering to listen to them when they pass :( I guess it could just be a reminder though, so whatever gets them listening... I guess...

Unfortunately, Prince's music wasn't ever going to reach those who've never heard much of him before whilst he was alive. His dislike of the internet stopped his music appearing on the likes of Youtube and Spotify.

A lot of artists of yesteryear still have their albums appear in iTunes charts.

[Ryan57]

723252139951157248

I wish this talentless ***** would **** off. He isn't a performer. He's barely even a singer.

There possibly is. Look up on Twitter 'Blind Gossip'. I don't want to post about it as 1. I hope that truly isn't the cause of his death as it'll be even more terrible and 2. I don't want to turn this thread into that subject.

Prince was treated for a drug overdose 6 days before his death ... multiple sources tell TMZ.

Multiple sources in Moline tell us, Prince was rushed to a hospital and doctors gave him a "save shot" ... typically administered to counteract the effects of an opiate.

Our sources further say doctors advised Prince to stay in the hospital for 24 hours. His people demanded a private room, and when they were told that wasn't possible ... Prince and co. decided to bail. The singer was released 3 hours after arriving and flew home.

We're told when Prince left he "was not doing well."

His autopsy will take place later today.

[Nicky91]

well Celine Dion also tweeted this message on twitter

''Terribly saddened by the devastating news... He truly is a legend and a hero of mine. RIP #prince''


also this year's singer for Malta at eurovision Ira Losco has shared her grief on Facebook

''NO, NO , NO , Not ‪#‎Prince‬ !! The great guitar player and performer, songwriter, singer and producer/ arranger . 2 music pillars who have inspired millions including myself and whom i was an avid fan of dead in the same year. So sad . R.I.P. You great one''



with 2 music pillars, she meant David Bowie and Prince :(

[Kazanne]

I didn't realise Prince had a son that passed away not long after he was born,massive loss to music,may he rest in peace.

If what i've been reading is correct , he had stopped taking his medication (not advisable) due to his beliefs (Jehova's witness) he needed two new hips but they could not operate because he would not have blood transfusions .

Everything is still here say at the moment....there's no saying he could have been saved if he had been given a private room in the hospital, there's no actual proof of an overdose etc....hate the blame game when it could just have been his time.
