Thread title should be "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince".

Relatively young age to die, RIP.

He went back to being Prince a long time ago and will always be known by that.

Ah Jaysus, first I found out was this thread.

Raspberry Beret, 1999, Little Red Corvette, I would die for you, Purple Rain, When Doves Cry, Kiss, If I was your Girlfriend, U got the look...

The songs of my teenage years. Probably a bad thing for teenage sexual yearning in good old rural Catholic Ireland!

Guy could write a love song for all the "sexier, funky" stuff.

RIP Prince.

Why does death have to be taking all the genuine talent this year while the likes of Bieber and One Direction are still walking around? Take them next please and leave our legends alone.

Couldnt have said it any better!

RIP Prince, an unparalleled talent. Such a sad loss!

RIP

So sad, I remember listening to his CDs in the early to late 90's, I grew up as an awkward teenager listening to his great music.

2016 out to kill everyone

Funny I just listened to a BBC more or less podcast who checked this out and it does seem more stars died in the first 3 months of 16 compared to 2012, they don't have a big sample size though. They used BBC obituaries as the basis.

A big part was the break out of rock and roll and pop in the 60's, you didn't have as many music icons previous to that. I'd argue film broke out a little bit later, Bonnie and Clyde but mostly the 70's, so it was a bit later. You just had more iconic figures from the 60's on.

Prince is gone way too young.

I'll say nothing as I don't want to be banned but in my case, it's the thought that counts.

The Ultimate Live Experience

Dublin 95

P***Y CONTROL absolutely rocked the place.

Heard it was a great gig, missed it unfortunately but my brother went to it, was right up at the front said it was unreal, the dancers and the way Prince was interacting with them and the crowd was amazing.

Gonna ring him now actually..

God almighty. Seriously, Prince and Bowie were two of the most talented artists we're likely to see. Two artists that truly had the full package.

Prince had a seemingly bottomless pit of talent and buckets of charisma. He was a pure musician, through and through, and an icon by any objective standard.

What a ****ty year for music this is turning out to be.

Fun memories of shuffling round the dance floor to purple rain when
the slow sets came on at the local disco.

RIP Prince gone too soon

Hotblack Desiato

The greatest artist of the 70s and the greatest of the 80s both gone, too soon, within weeks

Saw Bowie in the Point in 2005, Prince in Cork in 1990 and RDS in 1994(?), wasn't holding out any hope of Bowie touring again but I was hoping Prince would return here as I couldn't go in 2011.

Sadly, not to be...

Boom_Bap

I'm not sure how to process this. I've been a massive Prince fan most of my life. I remember when he played in Cork years and years ago I wanted to go so badly but was too young. My father and brother went to it and I'm still jealous to this day of that.
Genius does not describe him, it doesn't do him justice.

I'm delighted that my kids are fans of his and that they have a amazing discography to discover.

I'm delighted that I have his music.

RIP Prince. RIP.

Indeed - especially when, after a little more thought, it isn't actually at anyones expense.

Really shocked when I heard that today. A true legend. I know this year has been bad for celeb death but I can't think of anyone except Bowie. Who else was there?

What a guy. Loved him so much.

"You will never get another like him again"

Yeah because you keep buying sh1te music and watching sh1te films and continue to distort the meaning of quality in order to justify and protect yourselves. get standards. be objective. stop pretending sh1te is good.

The singer 'Vanity' died back in February. 57, same age as Prince. Prince wrote this 80's classic for her RnB girl band, the tune from the strip club in Beverly Hills cop.

Saw him around 2001/2 in the Point, it wasn't a greatest hits show or anything, a great big excellent jam session. I loved it but you had the usual people disappointed about the lack of hits.

One good memory of I have is that around the time of the Burton Batman and when MTV was actually music television, late 80s. I was in my grandads and he was flicking through the channels and game to the start of the rather excellent Bat Dance. He actually left it on and watched all 7 minutes of it.

Another fantastic artist leaves the stage. Rest in peace Prince Rogers Nelson.

Was at that gig myself, big funk jam followed by hits followed by a piano set, he could do it all
