Lisa O`Brien Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Just hearing that the singer,Prince has died. OMG. He came to see our show at the Moulin Rouge in 1987. Was this small figure surrounded by about ten bodyguards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I loved Prince during his 1999/Purple Rain phase. I am so sorry to hear he has passed away. http://fox2now.com/2016/04/21/legendary-singer-prince-dead-at-57-2/ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAB Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 2016 is proving a dreadful year for deaths of creative people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 As of now I'm not sure it's been confirmed, has it? I read that Prince has been ill with severe flu symptoms but the official line - at the moment - is that Police are investigating "a death at Prince's home". ETA Apparently his publicist has just announced it: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-36106778 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinMM Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Like you Fiz just cannot believe what is happening this year and another one who cannot be that old? I loved some of his music and he was always fascinating to watch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Posting at the same time again, taxi! Gosh, another great loss - what a year! :-( I've just seen an article in respect of Victoria Wood (I've posted a link on her memorial thread) which says that BBC R4 has been analysing BBC obituaries and they have posted a lot more this year than last.

LinMM Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Just been to BBC website he was only 57. I thought we were all supposed to be living longer!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Yes Janet heard that programme "more or less" last week over three times as many this year as last. They said because the late 60's was the beginning of Celebrity culture so we may expect more from now on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sim Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 So sad. I have so many happy memories of great times in the 80s with his music the soundtrack to those times. RIP Prince, and thank you for the music. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huddsballetmum Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 35 celebrities have died in 2016 so far this year. Shocking news. I loved Prince. His music was a big part of my life. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonty Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I also adored Prince. A sad loss. Although a lot of celebrities have died this year, some of them have not been totally unexpected e.g. Ronnie Corbett, who was in his 80s. But 57 is way too young. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
