Fuck fuck fuck

Why

Have not seen a single source on this other than TMZ (and about 30 skidillion articles citing TMZ). I hope I hope I hope.....

fuck this no way

what the fuck noooooooo D:

Nile Rodgers is saying it's true. and the associated press is calling it.

citing a publicist

it's true.

jesus christ.

this is crazy
i can't believe it

nooooo

and I had just introduced my son to Batdance

I am having a mental block -- I'm not even sad yet because it seems impossible. No way. No way no way no way.

Singer Prince has died at his Paisley Park estate in Minnesota at the age of 57, his publicist tells AP

As i just said on the obituary thread, I feel like I got punched in the solar plexus. Like I'm about to cry and throw up at the same time. This doesn't seem possible.

I just, still getting over Bowie

i really can't with this

fuck 2016

I wonder how far, if at all, he got with that memoir.

This feels so unreal

Incomprehensible. Only 57. This is horrible.

The year the music died.

unbelievable

Had to go in the bathroom at work where I am currently bawling

don't put RIP on this thread

Don't do it

whoever did it UNDO IT

Thread Title Edit request

what the fuck

No.

why do you guys want to remove the rip?

because Prince can't ever really die. (no sarcasm, whatsoever)

got a lot of strength from PRINCE's music. helped make life better.

thinking about the first time I saw the video for Little Red Corvette, the first time I heard Darling Nikki and my next door neighbor friend's older sister explained what "grinding" was, picking out "Starfish and Coffee" on the piano as a kid and years later playing it at some uber-rich friend's Halloween part on a big white grand piano, my girlfriend/future wife's extensive collage of Prince posters/ephemera in her walk-in closet wall

fuck

so gutted

i think having a separate thread to mourn, as we did with Bowie, is the best solution, so i started one.

i feel like i'm going to vomit, like i'm surrounded by ppl stabbing me or beating me w/ clubs. i had the weirdest feeling about this, there was the illness and this year, but i shrugged it off. i've listened to prince more than anyone else in my life and it's not close. i loved him as a fanatic and as a nerd and then in a more casual way like breathing. his music is a part of me in a much more concrete way than anyone else's. every second just feels like i'm learning it again, just a shock wave after shock wave. i loved that man so much.

xps because if we keep doing this every single artist's thread will have RIP after it.

use a separate thread IMO (like the one Morbs just made)

^^^

removed the rip. not sure who put it in there but I'm sure it was only with the best of intentions.

Balls otm
I cannot begin to articulate how important prince is to me
This is intolerable
