RIP Prince - FFS

Thought Scandi would have posted he'd had a good innings.
RIP

Loads more celebrities these days thanks to the telly, celeb mags and global coverage.

That's why so many are passing away.

Mind you at least we've heard of most of them up until now.

In the future, if the right hand column of the mail on-line and Hello magazine are anything to go by, there will be loads dying off that get some news coverage that I won't have a fecking clue who they were.

RIP Prince. Saw him at Hammersmith a few years back. Great show.

That right hand column is full off no bodies who get paid to wear the latest clothing and make up etc even mans make up etc so the public think they are real celebs and copy them.

You must have noticed none of them carry phones YET

phuck me he was the weirdo's weirdo, made music but expected nobody to stream it or anyone to cover it FFS. Struggled to move with the times and done nothing relevant for 20 years.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a publicity stunt ffs

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a publicity stunt ffs
+1

Or whacked fro Ticketmaster etc for cancelling gigs

They ticket companies have some power owned by very high up people and he thought he could take them on

He was ready to release an album telling his life story , they cant have that

______________

Closeau knows.

also as time passes on and we get older from 40 until you reach 60 there are more famous folk to die , as they get older .

Then by the time you're 80 no one famous you know will be dying as they'll all be dead  .


anyway,  Rest In Peace little man

Sleeping tablets killing off the American celebs wouldn't surprise me if they were involved here too.

And FFS we've got to hear that Doves Cry song loads now as the GBP always choose the most overplayed and bland songs as their favourites from popular artists.

He was taking meds for anxiety so hamster they are in him for sure

'Frail' Prince, 57, died at $10million estate from 'flu' after being spotted on several visits to Walgreen's pharmacy, just a week after he was rushed to hospital but told fans 'don't waste your prayers'

Prince made several trips to a Walgreen's pharmacy in the days before his death and is said to have appeared more 'frail and nervous' than usual on a visit to the store last night.

I hope you keep yer head screwed on Chaser when you hit the big time.

Aka once your in your in and you cant get out or your gone

I think ill need to invest in my own studio and not mess about with these **** wits

Legal Mafia

Ticketmaster parent company Live Nation Entertainment whos chief is Greg Maffei

Look what else he has been involved with , Prince was small fry

Big gap in the market with  1 Direction gone.

Someone else can suck the todgers of the higher ups im not into that game unless i gig locally for my real fans

I mean gig locally not suck todgers

Denise Katrina Matthews died in February, this year...ex-Prince protege, musical partner, etc.

IMO, Prince was the greatest Little Richard impersonator of all times.

I remember him going up to accept an award at the Rock & Pop awards (as the Brits used to be known) surrounded by bodyguards,saying about two words before returning to his table.

last year that he was on something also maybe same thing your talking about

infact year before

Hip hip hooray, it's nearly the weekend! This week is full of fresh and fantastic new shows just for you.   



Ticketmaster just mailed me i better shut the fck up

Dave Chappelle did a very funny Prince basketball sketch.

Well I’ve heard of Prince and the artist formerly known as Prince. Are they the same person or different people? F*cked if I know. Seems to be a disproportionate amount of wailing over his death.

The standard chit chat desecration of a tribute thread to a genuine musical legend ffs

That's what I thought of as well Velasquez

Here's the clip of Eddie Murphy's brother Charlie telling an anecdote about Prince in the 80's..

WTF is it about this year, I commented about 2 months ago how about it all the celebs were dying, it's still continuing.

There have been a lot, but we live in a celeb culture, musicians/tv/actors, etc, would barely have existed 50, 60 years ago, and finally the world population is rising, so there are statistically bound to be more celeb deaths.

It was a genuine question Attitude Adjuster. Looked it up on Google since you didn't give the answer.

im going down to alphabet street

Yes, Foinavon. The same person.

I never saw him or bought any of his records, but what I saw I liked. He was good, very good. RIP.

Just watched "Purple Rain" on one of the music channels. The guitar bit at the end if rather good isn't it?

Never took much notice of him until I saw him playing guitar live, can't remember when or where, but I thought he was mighty good.

and a veggie Kenny 

"I like 'em fat"
"I like 'em proud"
"Ya gotta have a mother for me"

Now move your big ass 'round this way
So I can work on that zipper, baby
Tonight your a star
And I'm the big dipper

always thought he was  talking about working on his Zephyr 

TheChaser

You've had an awful lot to say on this thread.

All of it total shlt.

Is that FACTS

Thanks Kenny.

Waterboys - Purple Rain

https://youtu.be/H9Kta6f6-s4

Nice version with particularly excellent electric violin/fiddle from the awesome Steve Wickham

Point taken Foinavon.Sorry

You're welcome attitude adjuster.

Always thought that he was a clean living, fit fella. How can he be gone at such a young age? I expect more will be revealed in the near future. He was a very talented man, though I wasn't that impressed with his work on KB's Why Should I Love You. Nobody gets it right all the time.

and a veggie Kenny

A vegan, actually, Coach. Wrote somewhere about the evils of wool production. Top man.

dude was eccentric but the b0llocks
his eclectic,iconic tunes will live on
more talent in his little finger than so called stars that followed him
actually quite saddened by the news

kenny, there is no evil in wool production!

Went down imo when I heard he tried to beat up Sinead O'conner.

He should have shot her instead..

Did a quick google and it seems that there may be some evil in it. Thought it was just about sheering them and no harm done.

Terrible thing to say guiness.

Not ALL wool production, but their is in too much. Do some research.

I'll get it for you clarky, lol.

'there' and I have

MARVELLOUS STIFF LAMBY!

Naked sheep group hug?

just heard now. thought it was a wind up

didn't know he was old as 57 either (not that thats old) just always thought of him as younger.

Loved some of his stuff. Wee man was a genuius, ridiculously talented. Cant believe it. RIP fella

One similarity to Bowie

Both of them surrounded themselves with fantastic musicians/performers

The Revolution/Wendy and Lisa/Shiela E et all - the total dogs imho

Was looking forward to his autobiography as well and his vault of hidden music , guess we will never see either now.

Did the flue get him ?

Latest news, he was treated for a drug overdose 6 days ago.

Prince's girlfriend ALSO died this year aged 57: Vanity and singer had wild drug-fueled affair in the 1980s but her years of crack addiction were followed by kidney failure

twitter on meltdown he never touched drugs , sure he didn't and if he didn't then he was spiked then

Shut @TMZ the **** down! Prince was vegan, he did no drugs. Who are you kidding? Stop slandering great black men

Prince didn't do drugs

Don't understand the fuss about celebrity deaths. It wasn't like he was still churning out the hits

Zazu but he was Vegan

Watching Sky News this morning and listening to TalkSport with the Colin Murray Show has been great with all the clips of just some of the songs he wrote/recorded.

A very odd little bod - but undoubtedly a musical genius.

And he made some great 'pop songs'.

Zaza, it's really not about churning out hits. Prince was still producing loads of great music and putting on amazing live performances. Very few old 'stars' are having hits because the record companies and music stations won't allow it. They want new controllable artists. Prince was a genius.

He put his own life in danger when he spoke about Chemtrails.

RIP Prince, you were part of the resistance.

make my hay dont mention that here they will call you mad

He was also in a fight against they ticket companies who claim gigs sell out in 50 seconds but really they just pass them on to their other companies who charge more.Getmein , Viagogo , stubhub etc

All linked to Ticketmaster somewhere along the chain

If you like Prince the musician, this is sensational

Playing The Beatles (George's) 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' in some sort of supergroup

Overdoes it a bit, but hey, there's a fair bit of talent there

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SFNW5F8K9Y&t=3m20s

Starts 3 mins in

I've always assumed he was relatively clean living based on the lyrics of 'Sign Of The Times' which is probably a bit dim on my part. Maybe we'll find out and maybe not.

As an aside, Greene King launched a new beer yesterday to celebrate the Queen's birthday - it's called Purple Reign!!
It's a conspiracy I tells ya.

Is that the clip where he throws his guitar up in the air, at the end - and it does not come back down again?

Must have been on a fish wire - or somebody up in a frame, above the stage, who caught it.

Yes, Onlooker

Could only be on a wire up into the rigging.

This was supposedly a FYou to 'Rolling Stone' magazine who declared he wasn't good enough
to be in their 100 Greatest Guitarists a few days before

Must be a big Beatles fan - here's him jamming and playing a blues solo about a year ago

https://youtu.be/rCAk7pJaTYM

Two albums in the top 20 already even though the cutoff time for the new chart was midnight.

prince worth more dead or missing than alive to the record companies

Hope the vegan way is going well Canny - i know one or two vegans who  have a few problems  when they're out getting  food - but well played Sir .

poppydog, how right you are,the whole thing is superb and the solo by prince at the end is top class--sublime

My favourite track of his, and man does it bring back some memories..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Lmq6RDn5O8

George Galloway saying on twitter he used to 'hang out' with Prince a few years back.
Aye sue George.

Ricky more like.

Facts has changed ever since he took all those immigrants in.
On the plus side Chaser he'll block you now.

Aka Facts is just some little guy trying to chuck his weight about on here , i grew up on the streets ya know

Thats  a FACT he private mailed me and apologised for his outburst this morning

There's a special half hour programme about Prince starting now on Sky News.

Thanks Tommy i know not to touch 501 now, very much appreciated i won't watch them until i find out why he died , he was killed i believe

I don't like his house/studio much, did you see it? It's like a big white factory unit with just a few windows.
Impressive studio inside though.

I seen outside on youtube last night , an old documentary about his hidden vault with his hidden music

A four-hour autopsy was performed on Prince on today, but authorities said they are no closer to determing how the iconic musician died.

Carver County Sheriff Jim Olson, whose officers responded to a 911 call at Prince's Paisely Park estate Thursday morning, said the artist's body showed no signs of trauma.
"We have no reason to believe it was suicide," Olson said at a Friday afternoon news conference. "The rest of it is under investigation."

Even though the physical autopsy is finished, officials say it could still take several days to weeks before Prince’s cause of death is known.

I read 4-5 days ago about him for the first time ever and thougt he aint gt long , he was taken on touts , 3rd party ticket companies , chemtrails ( im not sure what to believe about them ) but i know you dont fck with the music industry and if you cut them out your in for it.

Cremated already

Acted fast here ,autopsy is not even back yet

$300 , 000 ,000 fortune maybe going to an unknown grand-niece

part of it , anyway he was butchered

back to the drink 5 in a row 5 in a row

"A man claiming to be the son of Prince has also come forward to claim his inheritance."

Anyone that looks indian will be at it
