    Stunned. The man was a genius. A chameleon in the Bowie mould. A truly sad loss.

    Apart from his huge catalogue of songs he was an amazing guitarist. Another massive loss to the world of music.
    2016 continues to take its toll . .

    Quite a shocker this one, as said above only 57, I didn't follow him down the years but Purple Rain always held a special place in memories of 1984.

    It's sad news indeed and I liked his music, especially the New Power Generation stuff in the early nineties, but some of the comments on that link are creasing me up.

    "No great loss, i'm loving this year, who's next. Please be Bruce Forsyth"

    "First Denise Roberts off this morning then Tom Jones Mrs and now prince 2016 is turning into Annus horribilis."

    As Bri said he did so much for funk. A real iconic legend.

    RIP.

    We are only in April but they are dropping like flies.

    If you're a celebrity over the age of 50 you had better watch out.

    Aye ACS, not so bad thanks. I keep popping in and keeping an eye on things. I tend to participate when things are more positive, at the moment the only way is up !
    <whistle>

    Hows you ?
