Another one gone - Prince

It's said that celebrity deaths come in threes. This week we also lost Everybody Love Raymond actress Doris Roberts at 90 and female wrestling star Chyna.

I wonder if the loss of one of Princes first back up singers Vanity over the last year had an affect on him as well.
 
Did Anybody Start a Thread About Prince Yet?

If they have you can delete this. But Prince is dead at 57, I'm still getting over Bowie jeez...I suppose you have to be in your fifties, sixties, to know him. I saw him at a club many years ago. He wasn't performing, just hanging out with a bunch of gorilla sized body guards. Nobody was allowed near, but everyone knew he was in the house. Handsome guy and talented performer RIP
and my favorite
 
Can't say I was a true fan, but definitely appreciated his guitar work and showmanship. I still remember watching him perform on TV as we crossed into the new century on 1/1/2000. Awesome performer who will be missed for sure.
 
Too bad for him and his fans. RIP

I was never much impressed. He was like some others like Bowie, Jackson etc.; Too many uniforms, ruffles and mascara and girly looking.

I never saw Sinatra or Dean Martin etc. looking nothing but MANLY.

Prince's music was very close to rap and that's far from actual singing.
 
I feel that with Prince, Lou Reed, Bowie...when you get over 50 a health concern can go bad ever so quickly. And Iggy is still very much alive and still posing nude. Philly where's your input here????

I can't understand the air time this death is getting. It's been on every TV channel for the last 24 hours.

One would think that the Pope had died.

Better than the nonstop Trump coverage.

I liked a few of his songs but wasn't a huge fan. His earlier music was not rap or hip hop, or I wouldn't have liked any of it.

Yep, I was at saturation by last night. He was a very popular singer I get that. He was different but I don't think he was in the same class as some of artists from the 50s and 60s. But since many in the mainstream media are at the age that he would've very popular during their youth. Now were about to get a second round with the drug angle-after that the story will be done-fast.
 
I guess it's like future generations dismissing Sinatra as a toupee wearing has been. Elvis as fat and drug addled. Even Brother Michael got a bit weird there. Oh yow, I can put myself under complete anesthesia for a good night's sleep. But Prince wasn't there...just a nice guy and incredibly talented musician.
