PappyTron Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 It's ridiculous; when Michael Jackson died you couldn't turn on the TV for a month without it being about him, but Prince has passed away and it is literally "And in other news the singer Prince has died. He was 57. Now, over to the sport" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartbreakerWoman Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 I wonder if he had the same thing that killed Jim Henson. Jim had only flu-like symptoms until he was literally dying...Maybe the same case here? Like a more serious illness misdiagnosed as just being the flu?

Stress Fracture Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 You can kind of accept David Bowie and Lemmy dying, given their age and bad health. But Prince? At the age of 57? This is hard to take in. No way should Prince be dead. RIP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even CNBC - which is a financial news channel that I have on 24/7 - has been talking about Prince steadily since the news broke. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear that. You have to come here to the U.S., where we honor the great ones when they pass. We have great coverage of Prince here, especially on CNN.

I know that they are sticking to the flu, but nothing more than that? I wonder whether his being a Jehovah's Witness played any part in anything? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanGenie Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Jacko was much more famous though. Cant compare both. Tragic none the less. I really like his music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNR 1991 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Devastating news. He was one of a kind and a hell of a guitarist. Sign O' The Times is legendary and Purple Rain speaks for itself. I'm in shock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was simply saying that I would have thought that someone as important in the history of music as Prince was would have received more coverage than just a footnote at the end of the news.

Bumblefeet Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Sad news. Ever the eccentric singer/song writer/producer; with tales of him doing concerts completely in the dark, recording for hours in a studio laying down unbelievable tracks only to have them deleted, showing up to jam out of the blue or put on a show last minute... I always felt that he had a hard time coming to grips with how the music industry model changed and clearly was rebelling against it, perhaps not in the best ways possible.
