Oh ye of little faith! 'Tis but a shrine.
The less religious have the 'sad' emoji on fakebook.

A plan for Friday afternoon...get drunk, listen to 'Pop Life' followed by 'The Ladder' from Prince's 'Around the World in a Day' album and cry like a baby. Just like I'm doing now.

Going to my last drive-in movie to see Purple Rain, plus going to one of the 7 sold-out shows in my city for that tour. Not a big fan but everyone listened to 1999 and PR back then. The ejaculating guitar...too funny.

They had a lot of sales with the number of deaths in the entertainment industry so far in 2016, and it's only April.

For months now the news has been dominated by Trump, today Trump is trumped by a Prince. In years to come when the noise of Trump will be just an unpleasant memory, There will still be Prince.

@ Thunderbird
My thoughts exactly.
Black Sabbath
57 is not very old.
Serrano
I thought he was The Artist Formerly Known As Prince...
Purple Rain, Purple Rain...

@Black Sabbath, 57 is plenty old if you may have an opiate addiction. He was in the hospital last week for what may have been an overdose. He apparently needed both hips replaced, but couldn't have the operation because he has been a Jehovah's Witness since 2001 and can't have blood transfusions. I could see needing large amounts of opiates to manage the pain in that case.
@Serrano, He started using the name "Prince" again after he finished his contract with Warner Brothers in 2000
