Prince passed away at 57

Pop music superstar Prince is dead, publicist confirms | Toronto Star

People are going nuts about this here in Minnesota.

Just seems like we've been on quite a roll of losing some big stars.

When I bought my first CD player back in the 80's the guy gave me Prince's Purple Rain which was my first CD. I still have it but haven't listened to it in quite some time. Maybe should give it a spin to see how it held up.

Great musician, composer, producer....all around great guy! I like Prince....from his first song to his last.

Great musician and entertainer! He could wail on the guitar when he wanted to.

Its sad that he was not recognize for the many contribution he has made in so many careers and the industry as a whole until his death, and some of that was his own doing being the recluse that he was.

They asked Eric Clapton once "What's it like to be the greatest guitarist in the world" His answer, "Why are you asking me? You should ask Prince."
