It's now an hour since I first heard this news. Still shocked. He was so extremely talented and incredibly inspiring. I've always heard about how nice, generous and funny he was. I loved the way he lived, holding onto his privacy. Very sad, a major musical loss.

I usually don't cry when a celebrity dies but I have to admit this caught me totally off guard. Prince's music has always been a big part of my growing up years since most of his songs were big hits during my preteen & teenage years. I even went to the movie theater to see "Purple Rain" when I was young. I'm just completely shocked that he is gone. The world has lost too many good musicians this year already & now Prince. This is very sad to me. May he rest in peace. Many people will miss him. :(

Also feeling this loss especially hard. He was such a big part of my teen years, too; in so many ways, the soundtrack of that part of my life. He will be so deeply missed, but always treasured.

I wasn't that taken by his music, but his talent was immense. As well as a prolific songwriter and multi instrumentalist. I do rate him as one of the best guitarists ever.

It was later revealed that Prince died of a drug overdose of pain killers.

That is awful. Exactly the same age as myself. I never realized that until now. I remember seeing him in a skit on Saturday Night Live where there was someone else in the skit doing an impression of him, you know, dressed like him with the makeup to look like him and the whole nine yards. He seemed to have a good sense of humor about it, and I guess he must have had or I'm sure he would have never agreed to be part of it in the first place. I never could really relate that well with his music, but I have always admired people who have a sense of humor about themselves and are able to have that kind of good-natured fun with others without getting all uptight and offended because of their ego or whatever. See you on the other side, brother.
