The RIP thread...

Wow, big one. RIP!

So sad about this, my older sister was a massive Prince fan when I was a nipper, grew up with him playing in the house everyday. He was the only person on my wishlist that I didn't get to see live. Hopefully somebody will open the bloody Paisley Park vault.

shitting prince?!
david lee roth next.

Still not sunk in

In my life and career I've been fortunate and unfortunate enough to meet some A listers and 'stars'. Never fazed and never star struck but the time I met Prince will live with me forever.
They say you should never meet your idols but when I met my idol of 35yrs I knew I was in the presence of a very rare breed, a true talent...a proper showman.
Genius is too often used but this fella really was

RIP you absolute genius

Up there with Vanity at least 💜🙏🏼☔️

Sign o' the Times,
RIP genius songwriter, performer, musician you were years ahead of your peers and Michael Jackson lived in your shadow.
I feel for you by Chaka Khan was the song of my youth
Almac X

'Who said
That to kill is a sin
Then started every single war
That your people been in?'

RIP Prince.
sometimes it snows in April

I know this isn't his song, but it's a sweet memorial tribute and some awesome guitar playing. The look on Harrison's son's face, and the mysterious vanishing guitar (wait to the end) make it.

Look at the people whose jaws drop when he rips that solo. Such an underrated guitarist.

Nice!!!

I remember hearing that he hated promoting an LP cos by the time it was released he'd written and recorded a couple more.

@hoefla Thanks for posting THAT.

Owned it.

And loving every minute.

Quietly stood there, off to the side... then BLAM!

lame karaoke until Prince decided to show his hand and blew everybody else off that stage #princerogersnelson

Holy shit that was good.

Death is being a right bastard this year.
