FROM DEVOLUTION MAGAZINE:

It's with some shock that I hear that Prince has died.It's without doubt that he was one of the most prolific song writers in the world, never being away from a recording studio even when on tour. Much like Bowie he was a musical chameleon, adjusting his style to suit the mood of the times, a true rock star.
- Mark

FROM RIALTO THEATER (TUSCON, ARIZONA)
:

Prince Rogers Nelson, you will be missed.

FROM STEVEN WILSON: 

Just 30 minutes before we went on stage in Vienna tonight I heard that Prince had died, I couldn't believe it. It was a very tough show for me to play. The word "genius" is used a bit too often and loosely within the music world, but I think Prince was the real thing, perhaps the most naturally gifted performer of all time. I saw him play live several times, and his show at The O2 Arena in London in 2007 I would rate as the greatest concert I ever saw (Craig Blundell is agreeing with me now, he was there too).
The run of albums from Dirty Mind in 1980 through to Sign 'O' the Times in 1987 matches anyone in its sustained brilliance, and it was such a big part of my soundtrack as a teenager (some of you will know that The Ballad of Dorothy Parker from the latter album was on the mixtape made by my character in Hand.Cannot.Erase., which is pretty much what my mixtape would have been at that time in my life).
Tonight I made a humble attempt to sing his song Sign 'O' the Times, in fact just before we played David Bowie's Space Oddity. It's been a while since I recorded my version so I couldn't remember it very well, but I wanted to at least try it, it would have seemed strange to pay tribute to one unique musical genius and not the other. Farewell strange purple one, and thanks for it all.


FROM CORROSION OF CONFORMITY: 
 Respect and remembrance...


FROM NFL: 
 Rest In Peace, Prince. ‪#‎SB41‬


FROM OTEP: 

I'm terribly saddened today. He was my icon, my inspiration. Prince changed the world. Musically gifted beyond words but also an activist. He fought for civil & artists rights. πŸ’œ A virtuoso. An unparalleled genius. His lyrics challenged the world, his very presence challenged gender identities, he fought for artists rights, he fought for civil rights, he was a vegan, he was a genius composer, he was a genius guitar player, an incredible lyricist, a humanitarian and an absolutely unique & beautiful soul. Our world will never, ever be the same. πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ Legacy. Mozart. Hendrix. Prince. πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ ‪#‎superstar‬ ‪#‎cultartist‬ ‪#‎icon‬ ‪#‎genius‬ ‪#‎activist‬ ‪#‎vegan‬ 😞 ‪#‎love‬ #love #love πŸ‘‘ OTEP

FROM ERYKAH BADU: 

That time Prince was your rhythm guitarist
then sent you the picture.
The time Prince was so gracious to come to your club in the hood of South Dallas and play for 4 hours into the night...
The time you recorded "Today -the earth song"
at Paisley Park.
All the times y'all shot pool and argued over religion.
The time Prince got in your Lemo to tell you that 'World Wide Underground ' wasn't finished yet and you 'felt a way'. Lol
The time Prince "evolved " and wouldn't sign yo mama's 'Dirty Mind' album cover cause he said he wasn't into that no mo and yo mama told him
"well you shouldn't have made it then" and you were embarrassed.
The time Prince had a "swear jar" and you just put a 20 dollar bill in it when you walk in.
The time Prince and Larry Grahm had you cornered in a Jehova's Witness...well, witness session.
The time you presented Prince with the ICON Billboard AWARD with 20 (Janell MonΓ‘e).
The time you sang "I wanna be your lover" on the 3rd grade talent show wearing a swim top and the teachers cut you short because it was "inappropriate".
The moment you remember how much he means to you...
You've been here all my life .
And You will live F O R E V E R in my cells.
Sometimes it snows in April?
Badu
