Prince! Rest in noise.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Now Prince. 57. A serious talent, just brilliant and way too young. 
Not everyone's cup of tea I know, but you can't deny his influence.


Has anyone kept count this year?
This board is going to get renamed Chat, News and Deaths soon...

[Fenton]

Has it now been confirmed it was him on the house?

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Unfortunately, looks like a yes.

At least he upstaged the Queen!

[Techno]

Steady, Will. 

Just unbelievable the number of 'our era' have been passing on recently.
I'm sad about that news, as well.
Liked a lot of his 'toons'.

Cheers - Phil

So many people so far this year and we are only in April . Loved 'Purple Rain'.

[Leman]

Apparently the number of this type of death this year has reached the total for the whole of 2015, according to The i newspaper.

Wonder if we need a new board, e.g., "In Memoriam." Seriously. Its not just celebrities. There was Jim, Mike and Cameronian's acquaintance, Hugh Wilson, in the South East of Scotland recently and, given the age grouping (not that this stops The Reaper) of many of the forum members, perhaps we need such an outlet to pay our respects. Just a thought.

This did sadden me as back in the 80s Prince was one of the greatest musicians around and he did keep coming up with new stuff right till the end.

Also 57 is no kind of age these days.
