prince, im sorry for all those times I said rude stuff on Twitter to you like when you asked for a present and I wrote "yes there are people starving lets buy gifts for this multi-millionaire" or said you're scammer for the Lotusflow3r website thing without realizing it was the techs that got it wrong.

The fact that you have gone from the greatest ever living music genius to ashes in less than 72 hours has reminded me that I should keep working my passion productively and become the greatest photographer there ever was. nothing really matters when you can become ashes in less than 72 hours.

i thought you had a heart of stone and took people come out publicly about your charitable work for me to realise the contrary.

thank you for everything and your ability like all celebrities to function like a normal human being even if everything you do or say could easily become a headline event or a sellout story by a 'friend'.

i love you and i am grateful for you

I think cremation was the only way to avoid a circus for Prince.

I miss him already, really really badly.

'Here today gone tomorrow'. That's what I was thinking when I realized he was cremated so fast.

Alas -- we'll all one day die, be embalmed/autopsied/cremated/buried, all within a few days.

It's always crushing to come to grip with the physical realities of it all.

As soon as I read about the cremation I started crying finally I was in shock for 2 days and didn't sleep much. That voice, dance moves, passion all gone. And all the images and reports are reminding me of how I reacted to MJ. I'm sorry I'm not start anything regarding him but it's so painful cause they are the first artists I remember ever loving along with a bunch of others in the mid 80s and I played him so often at different points. I'm so grateful I saw him perform before it was too late. I remember being so excited to come on the org to tell you about it [Edited 4/23/16 15:22pm]

aww...I remember how Mike's death impacted you We now feel what you felt.

*big hug* nice seeing u though under unfortunate circumstances I remember how supportive you were then, I'd been doing a lot better last few years and felt like myself finally but now feel the wounds re opening. I'm here for all of you, we'll get through this. I'm getting upset because I feel like something went wrong that's being kept from us. There are too many creepy similarities like the 911 call and stuff like that though I don't want to sound crazy.

My heart is broken cuz we lost both Mike and Prince...how is that possible we are here to console each other

I appreciate this....it takes integrity to humble yourself.

For some reason, the fact he was cremated makes it even harder for me to cope with the situation. I know it doesn't matter, that's he's dead regardless, but the fact that even his body is no longer here puts a lump in my throat. But if that's what Prince wanted, I respect it.

Prince's ashes are removed from the chapel

He was adored by millions of fans but music icon Prince was always determined that his final exit would echo the way he lived life - away from the spotlight.

While thousands of fans flocked to his home to pay their respects after he died on Thursday, the rock star’s family were already carrying out his funeral plan.

And on Friday, as the world continued to mourn his death, the Purple Rain singer was secretly cremated after his family followed his wishes that there "be no drama".

World exclusive pictures in the Sunday Mirror show the poignant moment his family took the icon’s ashes on to their final resting place.

The service is a stark contrast to to that of his bitter rival Michael Jackson whose funeral was beamed live across the world as Hollywood greats gathered to pay their respects.

Prince’s body was quietly released back to his family shortly after 1pm on Friday after undergoing a four hour autopsy at the Minnesota medical examiner’s office in Ramsey.

From there he was driven across Minneapolis to the First Memorial Western Chapel where, accompanied his sister Tyka, her son Prez and another member of the family, he was cremated.

"Throughout his life and following his Jehovah's Witness faith Prince made it clear to his family that if he ever were to be taken from us he wanted to die with dignity," said a family friend.

"He had very precise ideas about how he wanted his death to be handled and that didn't involve a huge funeral but a quiet service.

"He wanted it to be kept to the minimum of fuss. Prince was such figure you don't need a funeral to remember him by.

"The world has his music instead. He wanted to simply disappear with no fuss, no drama, no fanfare. It was just his style.

Wow, Tyka looks just like John L. It's good to know Prince gave his family instructions on what he wanted.

I still have that lump it felt so final

I know he probably wouldn't want it, but I really hope the family does a public memorial service for him... the world deserves to give him a proper farewell

I totally agree.

.

Doesn't seem right. Seems too soon.

.

I think if there was a funeral then a few people would have been invited and Tyka would have taken a shower and dressed accordingly for her brother's funeral.

.

That man could not be holding Prince's ashes. For starters the process isn't that quick and also the box isn't that big to warrant the way he is holding that bag.

.

If a funeral had taken place, I am sure more than one newspaper would have pictures. TMZ haven't reported anything and they certainly would have by now.

.

So I don't belive this at all.

.

He deserves better!!!!
