    I am beyond sad & for the first time in my life in tears over the passing of a celebrity. I loved and adored Prince and all of his music from day one. My very 1st concert at 12 yrs old in the 80’s was of him, The Time and Vanity 6. This deeply saddens me!!! Truly a musical genius.

    Unbelievable that my icon and my greatest musical love has left us. I am devastated and it will take time for me to overcome the loss. I loved Prince as if I knew him. It’s as if my family member has left. I had recently started collecting his music knowing one day he wouldn’t be able to give us more. My heart is broken. I feel for his family and loved ones. R.I.P. my lovely! God has you now.

    First Michael Jackson, then Whitney Houston and Natalie Cole, now Prince. My heart cannot deal. The music industry will never be the same. Been crying since @thejasminebrand broke the story first.
