So this is melancholy.

I guess...thank you. Thank you for writing Anna Stesia, which first blew open the door for me to your work. Your outstanding body of work, which has meant so much to me over the years.

Take it easy, dude. Huge love.

'when our bodies wear out, we can get another'

Still so sad... really devastating.

Yesterday at work people were taking about it, some were joking, some singing (mostly purple rain), a few said "wear purple tomorrow" (and i wear Purple every friday--but today no.) Weirdly yesterday I wore a black shirt... just random. today Black pants dark blue and black shirt...

I cant feel anything im numb Prince gave me comfort and support throughout my life

bless his family

Broken. Empty.

Such a devastating loss.

Unbearable to think of him alone in his final moments.

There are no words.

"Don't let the elevator bring you down." On April 21, 2016 Prince body was discovered in an elevator at Paisley Park. Life is not without an sense of irony. My world seems a bit less colorful without my lifelong musical idol. RIP Prince. #SometimesItSnowsInApril

I've been crying so many times since yesterday. I'm really heartbroken, didnt expect to be this emotional. It just shows how much he meant to me.

Rest in peace

We all love u

A big part of me is dead. I was just not ready to deal with this,is too much.

Hey all, I have not been here in a while but under teh circumstances I just felt drawn here. Hope all are doing ok. I cant believe he is gone, jsut so suddenly and unexpectadly. OK he had flu but who dies of the flu at age 57?? I just hope he wasnt alone and needing help before he died. I know like all of you all I want to do is immerse myself in his music and sit with other fans, but im at work so this is the closest I can get. Big hugs to you all. RIP Prince. (surreal even saying such a thing)

I am so glad I loved him so hard.

I am so glad I appreciated the fuck out of every scream, solo, classic, b-side, bootleg, marginal release, questionable protege, and last minute concert.

I am so glad I never wavered in my love, and I kept the faith.

I am so glad for every show after party encounter large and small.
I loved Prince unconditionally.
He made me believe in God.

I am never going to find or have that joy or that thrill again.
I was changed when he came into my life and I am changed as he leaves it.

I don't know how to face tomorrow in a Prince-less world.

I am afraid to go to sleep. I'm 52 - THIS WASNT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN - My eyes are all swollen and I keep bursting into tears. It keeps getting worse by the hour.

Im sorry if I'm not making sense.

Im so so sad.

So sad. Really surreal and don't know what to do with myself.

I thank god I was lucky enough to see him live a few times and witness his genius.

Thank you for being the soundtrack to my life

A musical giant from a time when talent meant something.

Those kind of cars don't pass you every day

RIP

Short version: i'm not ok with this. RIP to my hero.

Not been on here in ages but heartfelt hugs to all the purple people.

Some say a man ain't happy unless a man truly dies

Oh why?

RIP

From a very young age I have loved music. Prince was music. Prince transcended music. I vividly remember my first glimpse, seeing the video for When Doves Cry on a music review show when I was 13 years old. Travelling to London to see Prince and the Revolution when I was 15 years old. Meeting him in London when I was 17 years old before witnessing the greatest live performance I have ever seen. So many amazing concerts. So many stunning albums and songs. The first dance at our wedding. Playing his songs for my kids. He was the soundtrack to my life to date and will continue to be for the rest of my life. RIP Prince. The Greatest

Utterly broken and defeated. It just doesn't make any sense.

Prince, I'll love you forever.

God bless Prince.

Thank you for all the amazing songs and the amazing memories which have been such a huge joyful part of my life. I believe future generations will look up to your example of striving for truth, love and quality in music and in life. You were and are a class and quality way above much of the so called ‘industry’. I admire the way you pointed out the flaws in music industry for other artists and from what I understand lived life according to strong principles with respect for God.

Amazing concerts I remember in particular include:

RDS Dublin 1992 – about 25,000 people – I was close to the front with a good friend of mine

Edinburgh 1993 – incredible outdoor summer concert to about 20,000 people

Spirit niteclub Dublin – best musical experience of my life – mostly unreleased Prince classic tracks played – a truly magical performance - i really loved many of the hundreds of unreleased tracks

The London shows 2007 – such a joyful experience seeing multiple shows

Being a Prince fan during much of my life was much more than the music – it was something really special that words cannot describe. A vibe that made all things seem possible. A sound that made everything okay. Your music was and is good for the soul.

God Bless you Prince

If the blind item rumors are true then we have a whole new reason to hate Larry Graham. The news of his death is heartbreaking. Whether or not it was AIDS is secondary and irrelevant. The idea that his close friends in his religion convinced him to cease his medication by telling him he was cured by God is maddening. I pray it is not true. I do not want my grief turned in to anger.

i hate larry too because of that bullshit... it was the only thing p wasnt genius about to pursuaded by the god thing.. it may have killed him ... fuck you larry
