Great sentiment but misquoted.

The man had a way with the ladies.

To this day one of the best live shows I've ever seen was a Prince tribute band that was at the Boardwalk in Las Vegas and was free with a 2-drink minimum. I can only imagine how entertaining the real thing would have been in person. Dude was talented and his personal touches on music entertainment have helped shape decades of artists and how they see the medium. RIP Prince.

Something to think about- "Vanity" AKA Deniece Matthews died in February. It is well known that she always felt Prince was her true love.
Prince launched her musical career.
Maybe her death put him into a depression.

Well, but Prince had married another woman (one of his backup dancers) and had a child with her. The baby boy died after a week; they ended their marriage a while ago, but they were still very close.

According to the Sheriff, there was no sign of suicide or trauma.

Never was really a fan, and I never get/understand what seems to me as people's over-attachment to celebrities or musicians, but I will say he had some serious talent (perhaps even one of the greatest). I also somewhat liked/admired the fact that he never really left Minnesota, and always called it his home even when fame came to him. It's a rare bird that doesn't split from a place like that and head straight to LA or NYC, and was a huge supporter of local charities there.

Cremated today.
