PRINCE Dead At 57

PRINCE Photo: NPGRECORDS 2015

It is with deep regret and sadness that we are hearing about Prince dying at 57. We do not know cause of death at this time.

From PRINCE’s publicist:
“It is with profound sadness that I am confirming that the legendary, iconic performer, Prince Rogers Nelson, has died at his Paisley Park residence this morning at the age of 57,”-Yvette Noel-Schure

He had been battling the flu. I have no further info at this time. I will update when I can.

To us he was more than just a celebrity and he has referred to us as a true friend on multiple occasions.
I am in denial a bit.

“He called me his friend. I don’t think he had many. I cherish that he let me into his life and confided with me, shared with me, and let me be a part of things for him. For that, I am truly grateful. I know I speak for fans and friends around the world that this is a tremendous loss. He was brilliant. So funny. You have no idea. Loved basketball almost as much as his guitar.”-Dr. Funkenberry

    Dee, I know what you mean, it took me about a week before I could listen to any Prince music. The world has turned upside down.

    Dee, I know…it is getting a little better, but I still can’t believe he is gone! I was watching a documentary about Nat King Cole. One of his friends still cries thinking about Nat. Do you think it will be the same for us!

    Doc,
    At what point do you move on a post some current news about funk? It didn’t die with Prince.

    Still hurting, trying to leave all of this in the hands of Jesus. I miss Prince so much. I know Prince is with our Savior, I just miss him.❤️✡

    SanDiegoFunkDaddy, dear, Prince wasn’t alone. Prince was a man of faith. When he passed over, the Lord’s Angels were with him. When someone who we love and respect passes to the other side, we are forced to make a decision. Prince is just fine in the presence of God. Prince believed in heaven and hell. We are all going to die one day. I have no doubt that I will get to meet Prince face to face. The Bible says, “To be absent from this body, we become present with the Lord!” Prince is with his Savior, Jesus Christ, and his children. We are the ones who are poorer, heaven has become richer with Prince!
