Prince awakened me to music at such an early age and had plenty of go-to jams for my family. Fuck man, he was too young.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

See you in Valhalla, Prince. RIP.

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

Holy shit-this legitimately made me cry. All 3 of these legends are gone.

 

[Miracle]

Fuck this year.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

No. I refuse it.

 

[MrPressStart]

Really sad to hear this... very sad! RIP

 

[SplitYourInfinities]

Wow o_o

This year blows.

RIP

CNN Breaking News ‏@cnnbrk 57s58 seconds ago
The musician Prince has died at his home in Minnesota, a family member says. He was 57. http://cnn.it/1T1AC5t

 

[Shaffield]

RIP. When I was maybe 12 years old I saw the cover of Dirty Mind and immediately thought, "that is exactly what I want to be."
Loss of an icon.

 

[VARIA]

RIP, another legend gone. Man, what a rough year.

 

[Bad_Boy]

So is this confirmed by anybody else, just tmz?


Edit: just saw the cnn link. Damn

 

[daveo42]

Wha? No way. Completely out of left field.

RIP.

 

[Obliterator]

Remember the greatness among the greats

Man this performance is just so great. Prince was one of the best guitarists out there. His style was just so good

 

[commish]

Wow RIP. Crazy

 

[Mixolydian]

Fuck today. Fuck 2016.

 

[Officerrob]

I'm heartbroken

 

[Vinsanity.]

So is this confirmed by anybody else, just tmz?

Confirmed by his publicist.

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

I want to hear Little Red Corvette right now. It will always be my favorite song of his. It is such a great pop song.

 

[madkiller]

I want to throw up

 

[Firemind]

brb gonna listen to when doves cry T-T

 

[DrunkShogun]

Bowie and prince in the same year. 2016 is taking all the stylish people away.

 

[witness]

Fucking shit it's true =(

RIP to a legend

 

[NastyBook]

True or not, stop quoting milanbsros, ppl. No need to drag this thread down with that kind of talk. Just celebtate the man, the music, and his utter destruction of Charlie Murphy's pick-up basketball team.

 

[lenovox1]

Why is CNN so behind on this?

The bigger question is, "How does TMZ have sources in Minnesota?"

 

[Rephil]

Goddamn.

.

 

[QuiteWhittle]

RIP

 

[IndieJones]

RIP Prince. Heaven has a tiny new angel.

 

[Rock And Roll]

A true visionary and musical genius. Lucky enough to see him a few months back. Rip to one of the all time greats

 

[Dabanton]

As other people have said TMZ is never usually wrong on these stories.

So if it breaks from them it's always true.

 

[ryan13ts]

Damn, why is it that celebrities always die in groups?

RIP, I really loved his music.

 

[Violence Jack]

This is the first time I've seen people openly weeping at work over the loss of a celebrity. People blasting his music all over the place here.

 

[MisterR]

This one hurts a lot. It feels like Prince has been a part of most of my life. I remember how awesome it was when Purple Rain dropped. I was in the 4th grade then. I've been a huge fan for most of my life. What a shitty day. RIP.

 

[coy]

I just got multiple texts about this and had to look it up. I can't believe it this is truly sad.

RIP

 

[GeordieMark]

I'd say I'm feeling blue after hearing about this, but purple would be more appropriate.

 

[MIMIC]

Awful news

 

[NumberTwo]

I feel sad for future generations that will now grow up without having known a world where Prince Micheal Jackson and David Bowie were still walking the Earth. RIP.

 

[Touchdown]

Noooooooo king!!!

 

[Dash_Riprock]

The Illuminati is real

Its called TMZ

 

[studyguy]

...on the upside we might actually get to hear his entire catalog digitally along with whatever else he was holding back now. The man's music will live on at least.

 

[spats]

Awful.

R.I.P.

 

[Saint Gregory]

In total shock right now. He seemed to be in such great health but I did see a report that his private plane made an emergency landing a few days ago because he was sick.

What a talent, RIP.

 

[Red Blaster]

rip

hope that rumor of him having tons of unreleased music in his 'vault' is true

 

[L.B. Jeffries]

His Super Bowl Half-Time show was by far the best one the NFL ever had.

"Put me on the phone with Prince...now, I want you to now it's raining. Are you still okay to play?"

......

"Can you make it rain harder?"

[Megalosaro]

The bigger question is, "How does TMZ have sources in Minnesota?"

Harvey Kevin is really Zero and TMZ is really the La Li Lu Le Lo.

 

[Lil'DigiOp]

Biggest thing this makes me realize is how none of the current artists are leaving a major impact on music like how these legends did...

There is a huge void in music right now, and nobody's gonna pick up the torch

 

[entremet]

...on the upside we might actually get to hear his entire catalog digitally along with whatever else he was holding back now. The man's music will live on at least.

Damn, son.

Too soon.

 

[RootCause]

Shocked! Unbelievable singer. May he rest in peace.

 

[Malo]

What the fuck, man. Chyna and Prince gone on the same day.

RIP.

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

In fucking shock

 

[kyored]

R.I.P.

Purple Rain 4 life.
