Prince (musician) dies at age 57

[Veho]

The Artist formerly known as The Artist Formerly Known As Prince, Symbol, Sexy MF, His Royal Badness, The Purple One, was found dead in his home in Minnesota earlier today. He was 57 years old.

Say what you want about the guy (especially in his recent years, including but not limited to his firmly held belief that the internet is a passing fad), he was an incredibly influential musician in his day, and he will be remembered.

Rest in peace, you sexy motherfucker.

Damn it. I was just listenin' to Purple Rain in my car and I thought to myself, "I wonder if Prince is gonna come out with a new album?"

Well, that sucks. At least we have his music to remember him by. I know what I'm listening to for a while now.

Maybe now Weird Al will be able to get permission to parody some of his songs.

Never really knew who he was. I've heard him mentioned before, in passing. It's only now that my lack of music anythings really shines through. Goodbye person, people will miss you!

Undetermined, investigation is ongoing.

i would assume it will fall in the category of "rock n roll" and its excesses.

Maybe 20 years ago. With the amount of "rock n roll" he's been engaging in lately, "old age" is a more likely cause.

57 old age .. shut the front door.......

 

[Veho]

I was being facetious.

 

[pwsincd]

but probably self induced old age ... through his excesses
