Not sure if it's too soon, but here's a hilarious excerpt from Questlove's book about the time Prince invited him to go roller skating. Dude was always so mysterious, so stories like these are cool to read.

Can't believe Prince Rogers Nelson is gone.

I hope he went in his sleep peacefully

Dope seeing the diversity of artists paying respect.

A true artist's artist.

Right there with you. One of my GOAT flicks.

Fam, I still say "SHOOT THE J....SHOOT IT" during pick up games in the exact same vocal inflection used in the True Hollywood Stories sketch.

They said my mans walking through the gates like 

RIP PRINCE

I wonder how the sports teams in Minnesota will pay him tribute.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

 So Prince gets his entire catalog back from Warner Bros. And now he suddenly dies. Notice a pattern here with Black artists? #prince #rip

And Sony just got Mike's music back after he fought to keep it.

Another icon gone too soon

I think it was flu and it was too serious to beat without medicine and he's been a Jehovah's Witness for a long time now and they don't believe in any medical treatment. I think his religion got in the way.

Just to be clear, that's not true at all. Jehovah's Witnesses do seek medical treatment, just like anyone else. Anything except blood transfusions.

With that said, we lost a legend. Going to rock out to my Prince playlist for the rest of the day.

 

[servechilled81]

wow MTV is playing actual music videos right now, a legend had to die for that to happen

turned on just in time to catch Raspberry Beret, one of my all time favorites

Well with MJ and Prince gone, I won't shed a tear for any other celeb. Moms called me and broke the news crying so hard. Had me feeling like I lost a relative. In her eyes she did.

Don't know how legit this is, but found this on another forum, someone re-posting another post from just a few days ago:

posted april 18th:

MediaTakeOut.com just received word that a VERY popular African-American celebrity - who has recently been in the news - now has what is being described as AIDS. Obviously since we are not able to 100% confirm the story - we're going to leave it as a Blind Item. We want to make it clear we are NOT talking about Magic Johnson. This report REALLY hurt our heart. According to a person EXTREMELY CLOSE to the situation, the celebrity, who is known for having a very EXTREME sexual past reportedly contracted the illness sometime in the 1990s. He kept the illness quiet but began taking his medication RELIGIOUSLY up until about two years ago. Here's what we're told by a VERY trusted entertainment insider: "[The celebrity] believed that he was cured, and he had some crazy [religious] people who told him that God cured him. So he stopped taking his medication and the sickness came back. Now doctors say he's dying, and there is nothing anyone can do about it." We're told that the celebrity is expected to get sicker and sicker, and eventually pass. It can happen as soon as the summer. Very sad news.
