I became a Prince fan not long ago, and now I feel like I'm in the grieving phase, there are days when I feel inconsolable... I know there is nothing I can do but wait until my grief is over, so I wrote this post just to ease the pain and find some empathy.

Regularly, but there is a such a huge body of work to go back to and enjoy. Thats what brings a smile to my face !

I feel sad that I'm a millenial and didn't get to experience 80's Prince. How did you discover Prince ?

How many of you feel like me?

No. You're consolable enough to post and edit on the Org.

I wonder if people who have just discovered Elvis, or George Michael, or Michael Jackson go through such a pseudo-grief process years after someone has died.

You say you are a new prince fan and you are in grief. Talk to your doctor!

Get well soon.

- I always get happy when I see new Prince fans. How did you become a fan? What was the first song/album that brought you to Prince?

@chuvara: I understand what you mean. You're just part of a newer generation of Prince fam. Many of us have already gone through it. But there are others now and who will, so you are not alone.

One great thing about the Org is you can go back and see posts from when we all went through it. Some lifelong fam stayed for that first few months then left - it seems they couldnt bear it, or needed to grieve elsewhere, or just tried to "stay in "real life". Most of us stayed though.

Boy, the days when the Associated Artists Forum was on fire. We talked for 2 years about which woman prince loved the most. The arguing got serious.

And every single article we could find was posted on PMAM.

There are great FB groups where there are newer fam too.

And sorry for the cruel posts you received here - some don't seem to be in their hearts.

My daughter who is 14, recently cried because she is a big fan of queen. Because of freddie murcury, bless her! She says she will never see him live!

The first song i heard, here in Brazil, was... Purple Rain!

I listened to the radio as a child, in the 90's, that's when I heard Prince songs for the first, second, third time lol. Unfortunately prince was not successful in my country, so I paid attention to him only many years later, in 2006, as a curious listener of good music. But I only became a fan this year, for inexplicable reasons, which I credit to the mysteries of life. Prince has completely entered my heart and feelings. <3

Thank you so much for the kind words, I owe attention to people like you!

To the others, I say what my mother always says: bad letters don't deserve to be answered.

I would like to write more often, but my english is weak, that's why I will write less often. But here I have read many interesting discussions, and this will certainly keep me connected to you brothers.

He played in Rio in 1991.

Probably will always be a sadness in my heart over this because of how it happened. Like if his inner circle would have called the addiction doctor sooner, if stupid drug dealers wouldn't lace pills with Fentanyl, if only he could of had living children and been happier, if he hadn't had such hip pain from trying to entertain us....I could go on for days. It just shouldn't have happened, an extraordinary artist taken from us too soon. (I am listening to Side 2 of 1999 as I write this...)

if stupid drug dealers wouldn't lace pills with Fentanyl,

If it was proven that it's what they did, they would have been charged for murder don't you think ?
