Wasn't a massive fan but I do like some of his songs a lot and he was obviously very talented. RIP Prince.

His music was more relevant to me than that of David Bowie so it seems somewhat more personal, although in reality it is nothing of the sort. RIP the popstar Symbol.

I am just more pleased than I have ever been that I am neither rich nor famous, at least for this year! Think the big one this year is still to come......

I am shocked Prince was an amazing musician, so so talented and luckily I saw him live twice and he really rocked.

Prince, Bowie who next ?

This year is just unreal. RIP Prince. Far too bloody young.

Terrible, terrible news. He was a brilliant musician. A genuine genius.

Sad news indeed because that's no age at all.

Can you explain why he was a genius though please Buzzer?

I'm asking for two reasons.

1) I've never liked his music but have always heard the genius comments. I'm keen to know why it's so or if it's emperors new clothes. I'm assuming he was a multi instrumentalist for starters?

2) If anyone can give me a definitive answer, it's you. I've followed your blog long enough to know that you know your stuff when it comes to music and know how to put it into words.

I think it's when your peers call you that. Fan base alone is probably not sufficient. And they did and will repeat over the next few days in the tributes.

Very good point. I'm sort of imagining a Quincy Jones type of musicianship....i.e complete in every department and massively respected by those in the music business.

This is getting ridiculous. 2016, year of the Grim Reaper. RIP Prince. The Doves Are Crying.
