Nine years ago today, I didn't know it yet but I was about to meet Prince. Prince the multi-talented artist, Prince the musician, the singer, dancer, poet, philosopher, humanist... Prince, my HERO.

Back in April and shortly after he "left", I wrote a note recounting this incredible story, and also to say goodbye and thank him for all he meant to me. As for most of you, the road since April 21st, has been a very hectic one, and today more than ever, the tears are still present and the emotions still raw.

In memory of him and of that very special night, I now wish to openly share this recount with the people to whom - I hope - it will matter the most, his fans. Please feel free to share and comment, but also please be kind, I am not a native English speaker or writer, and my writing skills are very basic. This is not an exercise in style, only a recount of this beautiful experience. Lastly, this was also written with non-fans in mind, I thefore didn't include too many technical details. Y'all are welcome to org.note me if you have any questions anyway.

God bless y'all! xxxx

Nice story. You are so lucky to have had that opportunity. Cherish the memory. Wish he would have done a similar residency in the US, in particular MN.

Did he not do many shows at First Avenue and Paisley Park, and were these not open to the public?

You're welcome MoDrawers, it sure is... The funny thing is, I also remember that 13th September 2007 was a very hot day, exactely like today (we're currently having a heat wave over here).
So it is as if even the climate is commemorating with me lol.

When I first saw this I was sooo envious..but at the end I had tears in my eyes. We are all in this together when it comes to missing him..such an odd thing..

Aww no need to be envious lmendes, he gave so much to each of us through his music, his concerts, his time... At the end of the day and as you said, we all miss him.
