Just...speechless. Can't even process the enormity of the loss. His music was there through thick and thin, through joy and pain, through love and loss. Now, that voice has been silenced and the void cannot be filled. But his music lives on...and he has moved on to another existence he always believed in and waited for.

what's crazy, yesterday as I was getting ready for the day, I pulled out my Prince's Ultimate collection greatest CD and listened to it.

I was so stunned yesterday, I didn't know what to say

another all time luminary has left us

I am shocked, upset and in complete disbelief.

somehow all the news footage and articles seem unreal, until i come to the org

and see the title of this thread among the other threads. it's gut wrenching

On my way to work now and I have to go to the station at The O2 Arena in Greenwich for the tube. People on the bus are now all talking about the 21 Nights in 2007 and I am nearly breaking down. Staring at my phone to avoid crying.

The train to London this morning was full of people reading the Metro as usual and seeing that front page everywhere I looked was tough. Haven't got a great deal done today, can't even listen to any Prince music at the moment. Feel weird, it hasn't really sunk in yet.

Last week, I sent message to his Twitter account to rest, and drink lots of Vitamin C...

I guess folks over there were too busy.

Again: I had a very serious flu and pneumonia 2 times in my life., and I only improved when I was forced to rest....bed-rest and drinking or eating loads of juices and real natural Vitamin C, and Vitamin D.

My friend succommed to Pneumonia and stokes and heart-attack afterwards..

I tried to tell him some things, but he seemed so heart-broken that even his bride-to-be could not cheer him up about the intitial attack.

He tried to bike outside in that photo, but he needed to pills to re-build his Vitmain D levels.

He was not a vegan.....People are saying that..., but even Vegans have very low Vitamin D levels, and Vitmain C, and Zinc levels in their blood.

Don't know anyone in his camp. I would've told them.

How to handle the grief?

I can't belief this was it. I don't want to accept his death.


Just no.

All of what you just said, and then some.

I´m feeling sick, my stomach hurts, at work I was acting a bit weird, like watching myself in a movie, from the outside.

Life will be different without his presence.

He told Bruno.."No heroes other than (The "Creator")

The Messiah made men stop bowing to him for the same reason.

I will not post about any more "news" to come.

I am no longer using Linn sounds the way he did. Respect.

Shalom.

I was out yesterday with my dad in the car and Purple Rain came on the oldies station, I was looking out of the window thinking about how my late mother loved that song. I began thinking of Prince and how I should to to his next show in London... There was no mention of his death, then as I got nearer home I saw Prince on the TV screen and thought shockingly 'Oh God, Prince hasn't died now too has he?' but then thought it was probably a music channel... as it was on in a hairdressers. Got home and read the news and couldn't believe it.

It's been a dull grey day. I just hope he died quickly, peacefully with no fear. Thank you for the music Prince, we will cherish it. Art gets us through life, and you have helped many of us and will continue to be present due to your gift of creativity. Have fun in the Heavens Purple one. xxx

Doesnt take much to take to much in the way of pain pills .. you take it may not work so you take another not thinking of things .. if there were any other issues at work like fatigue,no sleep, illness etc and then his body is thrown into shock from overmedication and its a recipe for a possible troubling outcome .. We love you Prince please rock the angels for us till we get there ..

It didn't, something is just so off about this. I will say that I think the AU/NZ tour had to take it out of him. The flight down here is rough at any age. He arrives and then Vanity passes - it definitely affected him. I was at the second Melbourne show. He sounded heartbroken playing Purple Rain that night. I've heard literally hundreds of versions and never heard him sing it like that. Two shows a night on back to back nights. Then he adds Perth in the mix - flies Sydney to NZ and then a 7 hour flight back over to Perth for the next night. Just a crazy schedule that would hammer the healthiest person. It was 2 months ago though - he should've had time to recover - this doesn't make any sense

I agree with this, I was amazed at the time he did all that when he came here, I am grateful I saw him at the SOH but part of me feels guilty as I wish he stayed home if he was not well, or just did not do so much - but it makes no sense, none of it

Rest in Peace King.

Love you.

oh djj

Heartbroken. Utterly heartbroken.

It still hasn't quite sunk in yet that my musical hero has passed away.

I will always love Prince.

RIP
