I'm shocked to hear that Prince passed at such a young age. Musically, he could do it all: sing, play, arrange and produce. Love & Mercy

The magic that the “Purple One” was able to bring forth with musical performance is something that will never be forgotten. Whether it was in a giant stadium with explosive pyrotechnics, or on an intimate stage with just a “Piano and a Microphone,” Prince knew how to completely rock the house with his incredible born-to-perform musicianship. Thank you for 40 years of wonderful art, Prince, and thank you to all you talented fans for your amazing tributes.
