Fek this means more to me than bowie. Music mad 14y old in 86 and my older cousin introduced me to alcohol and more to a prince soundtrack. Didn't like him from diamonds and pearls on but so many hazy memory's.
RIP

Yep Filo, but perhaps BB put him in just to see if anyone would really look at the picture or through respect ?  :s :s :s

Lemmy on bass, Prince on guitar, Bowie on vocals. Ringo Starr must be shitting himself.

Mike Tyson's tribute to Prince is interesting to say the least. I thought it was a wind up at first but then realised it was Iron Mike's official twitter page...
