(22,336 posts)Some of my favorite celebrities Prince, David Bowie. Very sad, and Prince was way too young! David Bowie was older and had been battling cancer for some time, but this seems so out of the blue.

(11,240 posts)Early Prince was sooooo edgy. And then his Reign began and he was a superstar. I did not keep up with every single thing he released in recent years, but I did love that he cared more about the art than the fame and kept creating and creating....
And he is so influential. Did you listen to that D'Angelo album from a year or two ago? AMAZING, important work, and so layered with Prince. Shit, now I am crying again.

I loved '80s Prince family artists: Morris Day and The Time, Jesse Johnson, Wendy & Lisa, Sheila E., Vanity 6. My favorite Prince thing is him doing the voice on the phone in "If a Girl Answers":
