To call it a sad day in the world of music is an understatement.
It was announced that at the age of 57, Minneapolis based musician, Prince died at his palatial estate, Paisley Park. At the moment, no cause of death has been announced, however it was reported that he had a sever flu which caused him to miss multiple concerts.
Born Prince Rogers Nelson in 1958, Prince was a legitimate musical genius. Capable of playing multiple instruments at the level of a virtuoso, Prince would write music that crossed the genre of funk, pop, rock and R&B. He would initially become famous in the late 1970’s, but it was in the 1980’s with the smash album, Purple Rain, which would paint him as a mega star in the musical field.
Hits would keep coming for Prince and he would create a career, which had few equals in terms of musical legacy, influence and ability. He would enter the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on the first ballot in 2004.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the friends and family of Prince at this time and we are going to spend the rest of the evening listening to Prince.
May we suggest that you do the same.
RIP: Prince
