A great guitar player

It's been a bad year for musicians

What was he informally known as ?

Another sad loss, will be putting my Purple Rain LP on tonight for sure.

The Reaper's been very busy this year. Very busy indeed.

It's not been a good year for celbs, thank God I'm not a celb!

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 ?

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

It's OK, the drumming position was filled early

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...
