No! I love Prince. Ugh I can't even believe it's real.

 

[Garlador]

So THIS is what it sounds like when doves cry.

Such a great talent. RIP.

 

[Gastone]

This is turning into a real shitty year.

 

[MisterGrey3000]

Nooo.
Prince....
My idol, my inspiration...
Not a day goes by where I don't cycle through his albums and experience his amazing artistry.
:,(
R.I.P you legend

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Had my phone off all morning and just found out.

Terrible.

Never again will be talents like those three. Completely flamboyant, charismatic, ahead of their time, and wholly unique.

 

[Nafai1123]

Fuck man. RIP in purple lit heaven you legend.

 

[norinrad]

Just a few days ago I was going over the list of all the women Prince had been involved with in the past and I thought damn what an amazing life.

RIP

 

[Daft Punk]

Is it weird to anyone else how many people are dying in quick succession in the music industry? Lemmy, Bowie, Prince. Who's next?

 

[BluenoseGames]

Holy shit, RIP.

 

[Spizz]

RIP

Today has been a rough one, first Chyna now Prince.

 

[DrForester]

Best Super Bowl show ever

 

[Agremont]

What the hell..

R.I.P

 

[Xun]

This fucking year is unreal.

R.I.P. Prince

 

[Dash_Riprock]

I suddenly have much concern for Ringo and Paul.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

no, not prince

 

[Bill Squabber]

Damn. A legend. Goodnight sweet Prince.

 

[Pilgrimzero]

GRR Martin confirmed to be writing the events of the world in 2016.

RIP Prince. Thanks for the music.

 

[Blue Ninja]

2016 really is a bloodbath, goddamn.

Rest in peace Prince.

 

[rezn0r]

Seriously, can you post a source for this.

I don't believe there's a legit source, but there was a lot of rumors flying around, especially lately (and before today).

What a weird and on one hand shitty year this has been.

 

[Andiie]

Rest in peace.

 

[Stinkles]

Prince and Bowie were two halves of the same coin. I don't like a world lacking that currency.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Stay safe out there Madonna

 

[Lil'DigiOp]

Only Nina in music I know is Nina Simone and she passed years ago who are you referring to?

Freudien slip, I meant Natalie Cole. My bad.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Saw him at the Showbox, here in Seattle, a few years ago.

I remember thinking when I bought the tickets, I wanted to see him before I died...never thought about the reverse.

This really fucking sucks.

 

[Blader]

I don't know about Prince, but guys like Bowie and Lemmy subjected their bodies to abuse for years. Just because it didn't immediately kill them doesn't mean that shit doesn't eventually catch up with you with age, which unfortunately is where are now, with a lot of these guys going into their 60s and 70s. That, and just old age itself.

 

[SporeCrawler]

He died of flu? Nooooo.. First micheal jackson now him....Rest in piece

 

[The Omega Man]

Let's rewind this year and start it from scratch, all in favour please rise you hand

 

[Fletcher]

What the Holy fuck is going on in 2016?!

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

Damn one of my musical inspirations RIP.

 

[Instro]

Damn, right after Bowie too. Tough year. RIP.

 

[platocplx]

RIP. So crazy.

 

[Fritz]

Stay safe out there Madonna

Too soon

Loled though

 

[psynergylover]

ain't gonna lie it was dave chapelle that got me listening to prince

you played the game an won Prince....RIP

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Remember the greatness among the greats

 

[Ooccoo]

Stay safe out there Madonna

Madonna treats her fans like garbage, always being late for her shows. Not sure why she gets idolized, her best years were more than 20 years ago.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Fuck yo. I just turned on the radio and heard some blues group or whoever singing the words Purple Rain over and over and asked my mom if someone had done a song with that name before Prince. Now it makes sense. Guess it was some kind of tribute or cover.

Rest in Peace. Dude was a legend.

 

[Palette Swap]

Genuinely shocked.

Guy was a genius. RIP.

 

[kinggroin]

2016. Year of the reaper

 

[Matrix]

wow

rip

 

[eddie4]

RIP .

too young to go, too young.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

The world loses another legend. RIP brotha.

 

[Spring Drive]

Is 2016 written by George R.R. Martin or something?

 

[Sibersk Esto]

I don't know about Prince, but guys like Bowie and Lemmy subjected their bodies to abuse for years.

That, and just old age itself.

I think Prince has been dealing with health issues for years now.

 

[BalishChannel]

I just watched Batman (1989) a couple days ago. This is crazy.

R.I.P. Prince.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

the world is alot less funky

his last album was great, dude still had it.

 

[GSG Flash]

Oh shit, this came out of nowhere, RIP Prince

Like MJ, he left this world too early

 

[dakun]

i wasn't a fan of him. (more of an MJ guy) but his influence and talent is unquestionable. The world lost a big musician.
Rest in Peace

 

[Danthrax]

Why is CNN so behind on this?

too busy chasing Trump around the country

 

[Ozigizo]

Wow, I'm actually legitimately saddened by this news. I loved Prince's work.
