Probably more Iggy Pop than Bowie.


Funnily enough i am reading per nielsens book on the stooges and he mentions that morris day saw the stooges perform at first Avenue in the early 70s. So yeah, its possible prince knew about iggy performing in his underwear.

Bowie played guitar. And sax. Ofc there are similarities. They did similar things with genre, gender, and in terms of their continual reinventions. Musically they werent similiar sounding but philosophically (in music terms) i think they saw eye to eye. Whether prince was a fan, idk, but he played heroes when bowie died in concert at least. I doubt he really studied bowie but i think he absorbed the idea of bowie and knew what he meant or symbolised and what the appeal was. Prince was a student of music after all. Impossible that he wasnt aware.

This.
