Prince (popstar) dead R.I.P

[Deepest Blue]

Clocked him at the venue formally known as G-Mex when he was in squiggle mode, played hardly any of his back cat and totally ripped the place apart, one of the best axe men ever to roam the stage, it's a terrible year for losing my musical heroes

Was at that one too. Fantastic show.
Also saw him circa 92 at Maine Rd.

 

[yayas trusty right foot]

One of the best guitar solos ever

Genius when he was in his prime. RIP Prince

He only played a concert last week apparently. Gutted about this one, somebody alluded to the fact that the acts and nostalgia of the 80s are slowly dying off. .....are the krankies still with us??

I was there myself, the one and only time i got to see him. Awesome performance even though it wasn't his hits.

Just had a quick look at the set list for that night, opened up with Endorphinmachine what a fucking track, I remember the group were very tight, finished with Gold which is still one of my faves

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

Not a fan particularly but still shocking news. What a crap year this has been. Noel Edmonds must be bricking it.

 

[The Silver Surfer]

Gutted.
Absolutely incredible guitarist.
Not often I get bothered by a celeb passing but I am today, even more so than Bowie.

RIP.

 

[Mike N]

Shocked at that. Real music legend.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Pleasure to see him at Maine Rd, got to meet him before the gig, mum had the hook up... I was taller than him at 12... RIP symbol
