President Obama Pays Tribute to 'Brilliant,' 'Electrifying' Prince: 'Nobody's Spirit Was Stronger, Bolder, or More Creative'
Quote: |
"Today, the world lost a creative icon," the president said. "Michelle and I join millions of fans from around the world in mourning the sudden death of Prince. Few artists have influenced the sound and trajectory of popular music more distinctly, or touched quite so many people with their talent. As one of the most gifted and prolific musicians of our time, Prince did it all. Funk. R&B. Rock and roll. He was a virtuoso instrumentalist, a brilliant bandleader, and an electrifying performer." |
Quote: |
Obama's statement continues, "'A strong spirit transcends rules,' Prince once said and nobody's spirit was stronger, bolder, or more creative. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, his band, and all who loved him." |

Prince told fans "wait a few days before you waste any prayers" during his final appearance on stage.
The singer appeared on stage at Paisley Park near his Minnesota home on Saturday night.
Although he didn't perform, he did appear and showed off his new guitar.
He then told the adoring crowd: "Wait a few days before you waste any prayers." |

Yeah. Horrific rumors started to spread about a week ago.

"I Miss Music"
I miss Michael and Whitney and Tina and James
And the Fugees and Lauryn, I miss Kurt Cobain
I miss Stevie, I wonder would things be the same
I miss music, hey, hey
I miss watching the countdowns when videos played
I miss One Love, imagine if purple still rained?
I miss TLC, Aerosmith, Biggie and Sting
I miss music, hey, hey
Oho, what am I gonna sing to?
Oho, what am I gonna sing to?
What about all the children who never knew Pac?
Ever Aaliyah, Jodeci, N' Sync or Nas
Ever Boyz II Men, Babyface, Bobby or Faith
I miss music, hey, hey
Oho, what am I gonna sing to?
Oho, what am I gonna sing to?
I know I'm not the only one
Who misses how the records spun
And sang to every song they played hey, hey, yeah
Oho, what am I gonna sing to?
Oho, what am I gonna sing to?
Oho, what am I gonna sing to?
Oho, what am I gonna sing to?
Without you

Prince Ex-Wife Mayte Garcia Says Prince Was 'My Everything': 'He's with Our Son Now'
Quote: |
"I can't even think of the words of what I'm feeling," says Garcia, who also shared a photo with PEOPLE of herself with Prince that hangs in her home, in a statement through her manager Gladys Gonzalez. "This man was my everything, we had a family. I am beyond deeply saddened and devastated."
Garcia first met Prince in 1990 and was ultimately hired to dance on one of his tours. The singer-songwriter went on to produce an album for her and they wed in 1996 in Minneapolis.
In 1996, Garcia and Prince lost a son, Gregory, a week after he was born to Pfeiffer syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that affects the skull and bones in the hands and feet. They formally divorced in 2000.
"I loved him then, I love him now and will love him eternally," she continues. "He's with our son now." |

MSNBC reporting coroner conducting autopsy tomorrow. If under treatment for AIDS, or known to be quite ill with AIDS after previously having undergone treatment, generally a treating doctor is available to sign a death certificate, and there would be no autopsy.

If that is the case it changes nothing. Drug addiction is as insidious a disease as anything. It only makes me sad that there are people out there who will undoubtedly use it to denigrate him. As if it somehow makes him lesser.
