I'm still getting over Bowie, absolutely gutted at this news.

Not a hoax, they just mentioned it on Classic FM.

[Stance]

Just heard it in the news.....



Not a big fan, but still loved some of his tunes (and his musicality!)


RIP

Crikey. What is going on this year?

Nothing really, well nothing that can't be explained by the massive increase in the number of celebrities these days, dating back to the 1950s when popular music became a phenomenon, then the rise of television celebrities, then the internet making more people more aware of more celebrities, etc etc.

Not my ideas though: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b076prgl

Huge miss... HUGE talent

[CPCustomdubwise]

I am utterly gutted...for all the preening he was a spectacular talent and the world feels emptier without him.
This year feels like a massacre!

I'm devastated.

One of the few that could take something from inside his head, share it and put millions in a great state of mind.

Huge loss.

Rest In Power Prince

I heard that he has enough material recorded for another 50 - 100 albums. Could be some gems in there that will be one day released.

I bet he passed on the one - pro til the end! I am/was a massive Prince fan. You can debate all day long but the guy had chops, groove, style and integrity. I've shed a tear, watched classic footage and bust out some vinyl and now the mazcal has been bust out I feel a celebration oncoming!

Shocked and stunned.

[HowieBass]

The Grim Reaper is definitely taking the piss this year; can't believe how many talented souls have left us recently.

[ubit]

Very sad news. He was an incredible musician, not just on guitar, but a superb bass player too

[interpol52]

Truly shocking, my girlfriend told me about half an hour ago and it genuinely stopped me in my tracks.

I loved Prince, in the 80's and early 90's especially. I remember watching documentary on him around the time he did the Batman soundtrack, amazing musician.

NOTE: I have merged the OT thread on the same subject to this one.

Massive loss (again).

[seashell]

Terrible. :-(
