Yet another one. This one also surprising.

Talented man.

Yeah, some are just saying saying a death at the studio, others are reporting it's Prince. We'll know the truth by tonight.

Guess it lends credence to the theory that Keith Richards is animatronic. IF these guys are dying off and Keith is still "alive" he's either animatronic, a vampire, or partially embalmed from all the drugs.

This can't be true...One of my all time favorites...Saw him live many time. RIP Prince.

A big loss in talent for sure.

This lead me to discover that Abe Vigoda is also no longer with us. He passed in January.

To the flu of all things.

That is my favorite song by Prince. A local station has been playing a lot of his music lately. Still in shock here. Heartfelt condolences to all of his family and friends. May he RIP!

Cheers,

Phil

Not flu! According to the UK Daily Telegraph he was treated April 15 for a drug overdose and NOT flu. He left AMA.

Nightline(ABC) 12:30AM is doing a full hour on Prince tonight. Check your local listings.

I know, that is why I was surprised to see it in the Telegraph. The DT is a very old and well respected newspaper and about as far removed from a tabloid rag as you could get. You can bet they have checked their sources.

Here is the article in question.

We will just have to await the report of the Anoka County medical examiner, especially the toxicology reports which may take some time for the results to be known.

The air waves and Internet and on over drive about his death here. This story has not broken in the Twin Cities yet.

For the last year or more I have been impressed as to how the UK media are ahead of US media when reporting US news!

They are quoting TMZ, take that with a salt of grain. You are right I mostly read Uk news like daily mail and they for the most part do a great job. Prince lost a good friend lately, so it might be a case of depression and an easy way out.

He was a heckuva guitarist and I likes some, not all, of his music but. on the whole, he contributed a lot. He will be missed.

Now, while we're mourning our loss...
