Prince being interviewed

 

What!? Wow that sucks R.I.P.

 

I was just informed of this!!! Damn. A sad day over here. R.I.P.

 

Truly an innovator and musical genius, sad day. RIP

 

...

 

Rip

Chyna from wwe has passed away as well today. Why are we dying so young? Just found out my coworker passed away from cancer at the baby age of 26

 

I still can't believe it! He was such a remarkable and eclectic artist who's music was transgenerational expanding over three decades from funk to soul to r&b to pop to disco... My God that man was a legend in the making.

He was an artist I really wanted to see before I died.

I always loved him!

I think everyone loved his music, didn't matter who you were.

Chyna too?! Dang!

 

we are living the end times, the end is near some of the signs more earth quakes more violence and senseless killings all over the world. so go to church, mosque or temple and pray. RIP PRINCE

 

Omg! What tragic news. R.I.P. Man what a shock. My friend literally just saw him in concert too. Soon all legends will be lost.

 

I am speechless

 

You beat me to it, was just about to post it if no one else did yet.

I'm not buying it for some reason, something just doesn't feel right about it. His death doesn't hit me the way it did when MJ died because I never got a chance to get into Prince's music. But I know he was a legendary artist, an iconic figure in pop. It's sad to see him go, 57 in my opinion is so young to... die ya'know? I personally don't count someone as old until they're over 80.

For some reason, I'm not buying this "flu" cause. Is it possible that they're using it to ward off speculations? An autopsy hasn't even been done yet, how can they determine the cause so quickly without examining him? I do know that while the flu virus usually doesn't necessarily cause harmful effects per se, it can trigger other problems from it's presence.

He was a star singer, I don't know... to me it just feels like, this would make more sense if it was your average joe. They may have a condition that they're unaware of and the flu further complicates things fatally. But how in the world did he let that get past him? Something just doesn't add up to me. Natural causes is one thing, that's a way of life... but if it was something that just wasn't paid attention to or neglected, that's what makes it so sad. It wasn't supposed to happen. Second death I heard of today, first one being Chyna/Joan Laurer.

Rest in peace to the legend.

 

That was certainly an unforgettable day when MJ died. I still can't believe he's gone. All the legendary singers are dying too young and too fast soon all we will be left with is one direction and bieber talent that's a scary thought. Never personally got into Prince's music either, but he was still such an iconic figure. Way too young to go.

 

Prince had to cancel a show earlier this month because of problems he was having with the flu, so I kind of believe the flu explanation is legitimate.

People forget how deadly the flu can be and it sounds like Prince treated it like he just had a really bad cold.

The man might have been the healthiest rocker around.

Didn't drink, smoke or do drugs.

This reminds of the Heath Ledger death in that he needed to be in a hospital being treated for a flu like illness instead of trying to beat it on his own at home.

Such a huge loss.
One of the truly unique music artists of all time.
I can honestly say there was NEVER anyone like Prince Rogers Nelson.


There's some weird karma going on with Vanity and Prince dying so close together.:|

 

One of the first people I thought of was you. He was the music genius of my lifetime.

 

Ironically, he told his audience after being released from the hospital and performing the very next day...

At the show, Prince prophetically told the crowd, "Wait a few days before you waste any prayers."

Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
To get through this thing called life

Electric word life
It means forever and that's a mighty long time

But I'm here to tell you
There's something else
The after world

A world of never ending happiness
You can always see the sun, day or night

So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
You know the one, Dr. Everything'll Be Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby
'Cause in this life
Things are much harder than in the after world
In this life
You're on your own
