Only 57.... Still trying to call up the link. Loved a lot of his music.

Prince was a crucial part of my musical upbringing. A tremendous loss not only to pop music, but to popular culture in general. Why do all these big stars die prematurely?    Posted:   Apr 21, 2016 - 11:46 AM     By:   Alexander Zambra   (Member) Doves will cry. RIP Prince.    Posted:   Apr 21, 2016 - 11:47 AM     By:   Grecchus   (Member) Why do all these big stars die prematurely? Good question. Not just Prince. David Guest was found dead in similar circumstances just a few days ago. Could very well have something to do with the lifestyle. These sudden, tragic ends are very sobering. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-36106778    Posted:   Apr 21, 2016 - 11:57 AM     By:   Octoberman   (Member) Good heavens--another early passing that seems to just make no sense. What a dynamic performer, tremendous fun to watch. I always likened him to a hybrid of Hendrix/Bolan/Little Richard--what you might call a great little stomper. RIP.    Posted:   Apr 21, 2016 - 12:21 PM     By:   Essankay   (Member) Oh my, this is terrible news. Only 57. He was indeed a dynamic performer and one of the best guitar players I've ever seen. He opened for the Rolling Stones in a show at the L.A. Coliseum in 1981 (or '82) and was, astonishingly, booed off the stage by yahoos who in a few short years would probably have been willing to crawl over burning coals to see him perform live. RIP Prince.    Posted:   Apr 21, 2016 - 12:29 PM     By:   Solium   (Member) Why do all these big stars die prematurely? Good question. Not just Prince.

These sudden, tragic ends are very sobering. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-36106778 It's really no different than millions of other people. It's just amplified more because their celebrities. I had a cousin who died at 25 from substance abuse. Another extended family member around 30 is a meth addict. Surprised their not dead yet. A sibling of mine died at age 50 from lung cancer brought on by smoking.    Posted:   Apr 21, 2016 - 12:48 PM     By:   Grecchus   (Member) The news is saying he had longer term flu, and that he was discharged from hospital after being checked out for three hours. It's also my impression he had flown in his private jet while seemingly ill. If you fly at high altitude your body is going to be put through the meat grinder. The sudden pressure increase in the cabin before take off could do quite a bit of interactive damage, especially if there's a malady already in the works. The heart, lungs and circulatory system are subjected to a pounding. Again, just my own impression, of course.    Posted:   Apr 21, 2016 - 1:05 PM     By:   pzfan   (Member) RIP. But, was he a genius?    Posted:   Apr 21, 2016 - 1:41 PM     By:   John B. Archibald   (Member) Apparently, Prince died of AIDS-related causes. He was able to deal with it up with medications up until about 2 years ago, then he got involved with the Jehovah's Witnesses, and they convinced him God had healed him, and he didn't need medications. So he stopped taking them, and his health declined, until he reached the point where it was too late. I've heard this from several sources. He was expected to go sometime this summer, but it must have been too much for him. I'm sorry he needed to do what he did. Hope he's happier now.    Posted:   Apr 21, 2016 - 1:49 PM     By:   Octoberman   (Member) Apparently, Prince died of AIDS-related causes.

That's the same rumor that's all over the internet right now and although I know you probably don't mean it, posting it here seems a wee bit off.    Posted:   Apr 21, 2016 - 1:50 PM     By:   'Lenny Bruce' Marshall   (Member) Prince single-handedly kept the funk tradition alive during the 80's when rap was in ascent. No greater joy then being in a dance club when his music blasted over the floor.* rip funky one * "Partyman" "1999" "I would Die For You"    Posted:   Apr 21, 2016 - 6:51 PM     By:   RoryR   (Member) Apparently, Prince died of AIDS-related causes.

So, religion killed him.    Posted:   Apr 21, 2016 - 7:17 PM     By:   msmith   (Member) He reminds me of my college days when Purple Rain made it big. Great songs, great times. Nothing Compares 2 U Rest In Peace.    Posted:   Apr 21, 2016 - 11:46 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) TMZ is reporting that Prince was treated for a drug overdose 6 days before his death. http://www.tmz.com/2016/04/21/prince-treated-drug-overdose-dead/ "We broke the story ... Prince's private jet made an emergency landing in Moline, Illinois last Friday, hours after he performed in Atlanta. At the time his reps said he was battling the flu ... something we questioned because his plane was only 48 minutes from home before the unscheduled landing. "Multiple sources in Moline tell us, Prince was rushed to a hospital and doctors gave him a "save shot" ... typically administered to counteract the effects of an opiate. "Our sources further say doctors advised Prince to stay in the hospital for 24 hours. His people demanded a private room, and when they were told that wasn't possible ... Prince and co. decided to bail. The singer was released 3 hours after arriving and flew home. "We're told when Prince left he "was not doing well." "We know authorities in Minnesota are trying to get the hospital records from Moline to help determine cause of death."    Posted:   Apr 22, 2016 - 12:12 AM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) Prince made his film debut in the 1984 rock musical drama PURPLE RAIN, which was developed to showcase his particular talents. The film was directed by Albert Magnoli and written by Magnoli and William Blinn. Prince plays a character called "The Kid," in a story based loosely on Prince's own life. The film contains several extended concert sequences. PURPLE RAIN grossed more than $80 million at the box office, and is the only feature film starring Prince that he did not direct. The film won an Academy Award for Best Original Song Score, currently the last to receive the award. The film's background score was by Michel Colombier. The film's soundtrack was issued by Warner Bros.    Posted:   Apr 22, 2016 - 12:50 AM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) In 1986's UNDER THE CHERRY MOON, Prince plays a gigolo named "Christopher Tracy," and former Time member Jerome Benton plays his partner, "Tricky." Together, the pair swindle wealthy French women. The situation gets complicated when Christopher falls in love with heiress "Mary Sharon" (Kristin Scott Thomas) after planning to swindle her when he finds out that she receives a $50 million trust fund on her 21st birthday. Prince directed the film, and along with his group, The Revolution, provided the score, which was released by Paisley Park/Warner Bros. under the title "Parade." GRAFFITI BRIDGE was a sequel to PURPLE RAIN. The film's plot re-joins "The Kid," in his future life as a performer and club owner. Prince directed and provided the score for the 1990 film. The soundtrack was released by Paisley Park/Warner Bros.    Posted:   Apr 22, 2016 - 2:11 AM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member)     Non-Film Score Discussion: PRINCE R.I.P.    < 1 2  > >>  Go to page:  1 2   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2
