Today is one of those days.

Quote:

I met Prince when I was 12 years old. I asked for his autograph. He wrote "Love God"... My walls were covered with prince posters.. I lived in a two bedroom apartment with my dad and you could see my Prince posters from the street.. Many many years later I connected back with Prince.. And we have remained friends.. I called him a few years back with the idea of @Madonna and Prince going on tour together. I pitched it to Madonna and within a second she said "I like it, we can call it the Royalty Tour... The Queen and The Prince".... I love the way she thinks... When I told Prince the idea he said: "the world isn't ready for this, it's too big".. I always felt like one day I would pull it off.. @Madonna performed in #stpaul last year and Prince was generous enough to host us and perform for us after that show at his home #paisleypark .. He didn't go on stage until 3am, and per usual the show performance was mindblowing.. He joined me this last New Years in St Bart's and performed for my friends party at what will now be the last time I saw him.. It's the one and only time I was able to actually work with him directly.. I won't forget that electrifying performance.. Or the smile on his face that night.. And the love that he gave me.. He always treated me with kindness.. We didn't always agree.. We would argue for hours... But he understood that I respected him dearly and cared for him.. I tried my best to help him on record business matters.. And even in his passing I'm here to help.. I would have done anything I could and wish I achieved more for him on his very clear issues.. The man had the strongest of opinions on contracts and on artists rights.. This photo was taken summer of 1999.. Yes.. "1999".. You can see from the photo that I'm focused on one thing... Prince!!.. I have the original lyrics to "purple rain" on my wall and I was always too embarrassed to tell him.. Maybe he would think I was crazy for paying so much years back for those lyrics or maybe he would just take it off my wall and say "thank you, I was looking for this".. Who would stop him?.. Not me.. Today not only will doves cry, we all cry.. You will be missed.. I love you.. Rest in peace..

I'm intrigued to find out what the cause of death was.

He was apparently battling the flu, so if this is what killed him...

This is so, surreal. I didn't expect Prince to be gone already. I've never been into him, but you can't deny his talent, his power and legacy.

I thought it was a joke when my friend texted me about it.....I'm really sad about this especially for my mom. She loved him so much.

The comments in the blind said they think Vanity probably died of the same thing. It'd make sense if its true.

I'm feeling very very emotional playing his music. Purple Rain has always been one of my favourite songs of all time. That guitar...

May this incredibly talented musician rest in peace.

I agree but what I'm saying is that it's a bit surprising that the gay community in partitcular still embraced him after what he said. I don't think you get a pass just because you're a musical genius, hate is hate

His opinion is just that, an opinion. He gets a pass because he didn't take any action that interfered with our rights as a LBGT community. You and I may not agree with his political views (which I attribute to his growing up and religious views) but that's precisely his prerogative. As long as it doesn't in any way affect our lives, he's entitled to his opinion. We don't need him to accept us to live our lives as we are. For whatever our differences are, it's respectful to remember his contributions and his gifts as an artist and musician.

RIP Prince. You'll be missed.

Then why even comment?

My mother is inconsolable right now. I'm grateful that she was such a big fan of his and exposed me to so much of his work from such a young age -- so many warm memories of my parents playing his music around the house and on road trips. My mom just reminded me that in my baby book under my favorite song, she wrote "17 Days" because I would always try to sing along.

Thank you, Prince. I really hope more of his music is made available online; I know he didn't care for the internet, but he is so important to to pop/rock/R&B and future generations need to be aware of his massive contributions.
