Prince (popstar) dead R.I.P

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

The day I met Prince (or he met me....)

I was selling my book ''Morrissey's Manchester'' at the 2003 Smiths / Morrissey convention in LA with my mate Stuart from my publishers and a pal of his he knew from LA.
We pulled out of the hotel to go to the venue and were waiting at traffic lights and a huge black stretch limo went passed. Eventually we turn right and on my right (I'm on the back seat, window down) I see a very large black guy with what looked like a 15 year old boy at his far side.
''It's Prince'', I say to Stuart and his pal who was driving. They both say ''what?'' as the music in the car was loud.
''It's fucking Prince'', I shout, pointing out of the window. The diminutive figure of Prince peered around his minder and smiled.....

I truly hope that the bloke was just a randomer on that train because that video has just made my day.

 

[PinkFinal]

Another iconic figure gone, shit.

Programme on him from midnight tonight for four hours on bbc radio 6

One of the best songwriters ever. RIP Prince

FFS, that one hurts. My first live concert was to see this fella at the MEN and he was fucking amazing as always.

Never liked the midget since he got his dirty little hands on Kylie and Sheena Easton. That is unforgivable in my books.

Still...musically a genius, without a doubt.

What a year.

 

[Dirty Harry]

Gutted, incredible talent and icon, and left me with so many great memories. R.I.P.

It was bound to happen.
