    Re: RIP Prince

    Sad news. Authorities aren't confirming the body they found at his estate is indeed his, but more and more sources are saying just that. Too bad.

    As an 18 year old in 2007, I really thought his Super Bowl performance would tank. He was too old, I thought. He was a has been, I thought.

    I was wrong. I haven't seen a halftime show as good as his since if I'm being honest.

    His publicist has confirmed it.

    This is terrible terrible news. True music legend has passed away today.

    Got to see him live little over a year ago. I can't imagine a better show.

    He will be missed by many, including me.

    Man, some celebrity deaths hit you harder than others. This one's a real kick in the gut.

    There's not much in music that has taken me to a transcendent place more than Purple Rain.
