I don’t know if I am speaking for just myself or for all of us of a certain age (myself: 39, still hot, actually!) or with kids (myself: 3, all under 6!) but Prince and his 21 nights have actually reconnected me with music, with live music, with my youth, with all those memories associated with his songs (screaming along word for word to the whole of the Purple Rain album, naughty nights to the soundtrack of the Love Symbol album, crying like a saddo in my room as a teenager to Sometimes in Snows in April…) with my sense of adventure, my inner foxiness and my love of dancing round the room like a nutter singing at the top of my voice.

I may be a sensible mother of three but it has been damn good fun to obsess about getting tickets, feverishly examine setlists for the aftershows, cry over Purple Rain and most importantly, sing and dance myself into a frenzy to fantastic, fantastic music.

I have now rediscovered brilliant songs that I may never have played again: Peach, Blue Light, Slow Love, Let’s Pretend We’re Married, Hot Thing, 7, Gett Off, Adore, I Could Never Take the Place of your Man, Pink Cashmere etc etc etc…the list goes on and on…

Love them! Love singing them to my kids! Love Prince!

London I aint got no more hits!

I'm a 40 something Mom with My oldest being 23 and my youngest 9. I had the privilege of seeing Prince 3 times this year in different settings. I am still in awe of his performances that I seek out the vintage Prince and still find little gems (i.e. Do me, baby on Oprah, Electric Chair on SNL, or America extended with the drum solo). I will never tire of them and my kids know that I'm gaga over him. My youngest even asked if I love Prince more than Daddy. I told her NO justing his singing....I won't go into the dancing or playing piano and guitar the way he does.

Well I'm not a mum but my mum is . Not sure that she'd could be described as yummy anymore now that she's in her 60's but I took her to the main and aftershows on the 13th September and she had a thoroughly great time. She liked Prince before I did, so it seemed like a great way to say thanks for all the baby sitting she was doing for us over the course of his stay.

I am thinking of hiring a Prince tribute act for my 40th next year, although maybe that would annoy all my guests as I'd be the only screeching along to all the songs whilst everyone else just looked bemused!

Only thing I wouldn't do now would be to wear the tight black catsuit I wore in '88 ( What was I thinking? !)

It's your birthday, go with what feels right. I'm sure there would be no shortage of orgers who'd willingly attend and make sure that it's everyone else that looks weird.

Me too!! It's been great watching my children (12 & 7) enjoy Prince. They've always known that "Mummy loves Prince", but this summer they have seen that love in all it's glory (My poor husband didn't stand a chance, so he gave in )

Hearing my daughter singing "My name is Prince" whilst walking to school makes my heart skip a beat

And my son has FINALLY started his guitar lessons so that he can play "The Cross" for me, whenever I want to hear it live

God bless
