It has been a week now since the unexpected news of Prince's untimely death and I still can't get my head around it. I'm no super fan but, as a child of the 80's, its impossible not to have at least one favourite Prince song, mine being Alphabet Street amongst many others.
'Sometimes It Snows In April'. One of Princes critically acclaimed masterpieces from the classic 1986 album 'Parade'.
But what is shocking about Prince's death is that unlike Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston, who were in my opinion ticking time bombs of wasted talent, vulnerable and unstable in later years, controlled by the people around them, Prince seemed to be in control of his life , career and legacy. A true artist, mysterious musician and icon who made his own decisions himself rather than be a pop puppet. I guess it is just yet another reminder of our mortality no matter who we are.
Thank U Prince 4 being part of the soundtrack of my life.
If 2016 is my year to move onto pastures new too, judging by the below, it seems like I will be in bloody good company and definitely entertained!
RIP Michael Jackson, the King of Pop
RIP Whitney Houston, the Princess of Pop
RIP Prince, the Prince of Pop
Long Live Madonna, the Queen of Pop
