Tango Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 Just seen on FB that Prince died today.......RIPNot everyone's cup of tea......but he also wrote songs for others: Manic Monday for the Bangles & Nothing Compares 2 U for Sinead O'connor. ........I think I've got Diamonds & Pearls on 7" vinyl around somewhere.What is shocking is that he was born the same year as me......

al_stu Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 Evidently this year, being famous is more dangerous than riding motorbikes. Who knew? Quote
Guest Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 he was ill.. and i reckon one side effect of being worth $300 million and surrounding yourself with 'yes' men, is that nobody dares tell you that you look like shit.I might be wrong.. but it looks to me like what killed him is the same thing that almost killed me in 2002. Pneumonia. difference was someone told me i looked terrible even though i didn't actually feel sick. just 'under the weather' and very very tired. Quote

Rumour has it he didn't listen to his mum and kept going outside in the Purple Rain without a coat on and caught flu...too soon?? Quote

Rumour has it he didn't listen to his mum and kept going outside in the Purple Rain without a coat on and caught flu...too soon?? purple rain sounds like some tropical urine infection.He nearly died in the 90's. He would force himself to go days without sleep as he believed it made him more creative.All these celebrity deaths are the baby boom generation coming to the end. Quote
