Can hear that infamous BBC news alert sound from people's phones on this train, assume it's that. Wow, RIP.

A true superstar of music, like Bowie. A fan of neither, but both legends of their time. Shame, RIP Prince

Prince was far bigger the Bowie imo, I was a massive fan and am so glad I saw him on his secret tour in London last year. There are not many genuine music legends left now.

Damn.

Liked a fair few of his songs.

O man what a year though, this seems insane when you look at those who have died already.

RIP Prince

Saw him a few times in concerts in the late 80's and 90's, he was a true showman with a huge talent

Wasn't a health and fitness freak or do I have that wrong?

arc@css · 21 Apr 2016 at 18:22

What are we averaging, about two deaths a month?! :/

RIP.

Liked some of his music quite a bit.

Grimley · 21 Apr 2016 at 18:22

noooooooooooo! He was my fave 80's musician. I bought all his 80's Albums. I had hoped to go & see him live one day.

Really sad news.

Quite a cover, as for his back catalogue and writing, IMHO it's outstanding.

Absolute legend. It's like 2016 is a bad year to be a celebrity.
