Never wish on anyone, but he was so young.

Still not officially confirmed is it?

Doesn't look like it. "Police are investigating a death at his house..." Seems to be the status.

CNN and Billboard both reported it too. 

While I'm not a big fan of his music, 57 is far too young to go. 

I will say, I have fond memories of listening to the Batman (1989) soundtrack on my Walkman on the way to the beach when I was a kid.

Brian's tweet:

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

True, so young Sad. My dad's age, actually...... but I don't want to think about that.

Not super familiar with his music, but very much aware of his influence in music. RIP.

Really sad news. But the man really crammed at least two life times worth of music into his short time, he was so incredibly prolific. Let's celebrate what he left behind.

I'd just like to reiterate a different post of mine somewhere: "Baby I'm a Star" is one of the best songs ever.

M, just go listen to Purple Rain
