Prince, Iconic 'Purple Rain' Musician, Dead at 57: Publicist Prince, one of America's most influential and enigmatic rock musicians, has died, his publicist told NBC News. The announcement Thursday afternoon came a few hours after authorities in Carver County, Minnesota, responded to Prince's Paisley Park estate in the town of Chanhassen. The 57-year-old Grammy-winning artist's death also came a week after his tour plane made an emergency landing in Illinois, where he was hospitalized with what was described as the flu. That illness followed him cancelling a pair of concerts in Atlanta. He tried to allay concerns about his health by announcing a dance party Saturday night at Paisley Park, where he briefly appeared, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. rest of the story www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/music/prince-iconic-purple-rain-musician-dead-57-publicist-n559946

It is really too bad and he was so young. I have no doubt he'll be missed.

I saw Prince in 2007. Brilliant writer, musician, fantastic guitar player, great live. I believe he and Stevie Wonder play many many instruments. RIP Prince.

Prince worked hard to keep his music off of the internet. It's a little early to think much about it but I wonder who his copywrites will pass on to.
I'm sure sorry about this.

Purple Rain street sing in Minneapolis, Prince's hometown, tonight, 2/22/16. rince's legion of fans recreated the closing scene of "Purple Rain" ... on a much bigger scale, and it was pretty awesome to see from above. Mourners gathered in downtown Minneapolis Thursday night, and a reporter had the perfect birdseye view when the crowd of several hundred people sang along to Prince's signature anthem. "Y'know what I'm singing about up here ... C'mon raise your hand!"

If you don't understand, try to get a chance to go watch it. You could change your mind.

Funny thing, but people who have covered Prince's tunes seem to have done them better than he did.
