Goodbye, sweet Prince - go make the heavens funky

Been listening to Prince a lot the last 35 hours. Been listening to Prince a lot the last 35 years, come to that. Was lucky enough to see him in concert two or three times, a brilliant performer on stage. Determined to see his solo with piano shows, but the Europe leg got cancelled last autumn and now nobody else will get that chance.

But the music remains, and there's probably enough in the vaults to keep releasing new albums for decades. Tupac will have nothing on His Royal Badness.

Nothing compares 2 U, Prince.
