This ain't true, he's immortal, Josuke Higashikata-kun can't die!!!!

 

[Violence Jack]

He had to cancel a concert in Atlanta earlier this month because he had the flu or something. But I thought it was just a death that took place in his home, not himself.

But if it's true, I just fucking can't with this year anymore. Prince was probably the only singer I idolized more than MJ. I was raised on his music.

Bowie and Prince in the same fucking year.

 

[Trey]

[rhandino]

AP has also confirmed: https://twitter.com/AP/status/723196712639193088

I... cant... fuck, I was just using one of his songs that a member of popgaf put on Soundcloud because it was from a concert or something.

Legit crying. Fuck

 

[NoblesseOblige]

TMZ is so damn reliable with this stuff it's scary.

The reason people hate them is exactly why they are reliable and I'm always confused why people consider them not to be when it comes to news this important. Have they ever reported a living celebrity dead before?

 

[milanbaros]

AIDS is a terrible illness. Not sure why he stopped taking his meds.

Edit: apparently believed God had cured him. Very sad.

 

[vikki]

Holy fuck, I didn't think it was THAT serious. I thought he was just sick, needed a little rest. Not something that would be lasting.

RIP Prince

 

[Bam]

What the fuck
