    Singer Prince dead

    RIP to another legend.
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-36106778

    Singer Prince has died at his Paisley Park estate in Minnesota at the age of 57, his publicist tells AP.
    Police were called to a medical emergency at his estate earlier on Thursday, US media reported.
    Prince became a global superstar in the 1980s, with albums such as 1999, Purple Rain and Sign O' the Times.
    He sold more than 100 million records during his career.

    I might be partly to blame.

    We started a celebrity condolences board in work and put a picture up on our notice board of dead celebrity. We started with Lemmy and ever since they haven't stopped dying.

    Lemmy
    The guy from The Eagles
    Bowie
    Wogan
    Paul Daniels
    Ronnie Corbet
    Johan Cruyff
    David Gest

    This week alone we've had Raymond's mother, Victoria Wood and now Prince.

    Some proper celebrity's amongst that lot.

    Just put Radio 5 on to hear Purple Rain playing and straight away knew that another genius had passed away to go with the one from yesterday.

    I can remember getting up on New Years Day 1990 to watch a programme I'd recorded from the night before where a panel of musicians and music journalists nominated their artist of the decade just ended - they picked Prince and they were right.

    RIP to possibly the most talented musician of my lifetime.

    Prince dies on the queens birthday. The royal family do have history with this type of thing. Conspiracy theorists are going to be all over this one.

    RIP indeed but that is a quite ridiculous statement, in my opinion

    He was on my list of people that I should see live but haven't got around to it yet. Too late now :-(

    Very saddening news.
    Perhaps especially as, despite being one of the most incredible and most influential musicians of our times, he was not the sort of person that people talked warmly of, or got to 'like' or 'know' in the same way as many other household names.

    Absolutely amazing musician. Very saddened to hear of his passing.

    It is apparently widely known that there are sizeable vaults at Paisley Park , supposedly chock-full of incredible material, audio and visual that never got to see the light of day, or that prince just moved on from with no further regard, but that would blow most mere mortal's efforts clean out of the water.
    Who knows, we may now get to hear and see some of it. Or just as likely, never.

    RIP Prince Rogers Nelson. Musical genius for sure.

    No, i would completely agree with that statement, the man could play any instrument and play it brilliantly.
    His last 2 albums were a real return to form after a few years of mainly aimless albums.
    Fekin gutted,only saw him once, on the diamonds and pearls tour, brilliant showman.

    If entrusted to the right person who exercised some quality control i would love to hear even a fraction of whats in the vaults.
