As confirmed by the Associated Press (AP) and other reputable news sources, the legendary and iconic performer Prince Rogers Nelson (@Prince) has passed at the age of 57. Though the music icon simply known as 'PRINCE' only stood 5 feet, 2 inches tall in person, the lyrics and music he leaves behind along with the body of activism is far greater than his physical stature. Prince told Larry King in 1993 that he describes his music as inspirational because the music he created came from the heart and Music from the heart inspires. Described by many in the industry a genuinely all around nice guy, Prince used his influence to appeal to the hearts of people. Just last year Prince pinned a protest song simply entitled 'Baltimore," in the wake of the death of Freddie Gray. In 2004, Prince was inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame by a young Alicia Keys and Hip Hop Duo, Outkast. Known for his wide vocal range and his unrivaled ability to fuse musical sounds across genres along with powerful words that resonate with the heart, this seven time Grammy winning (33 time nominee) will be greatly missed. CNN reports since his passing a few hours ago, record stores reported selling out of vinyl albums and receiving large volumes of calls requesting some of his greatest hits. In the hit song, "Let's Go Crazy," from the 1984 album, Purple Rain, Prince pinned these words: 'Dearly beloved We are gathered here today To get through this thing called life Electric word life It means forever and that's a mighty long time But I'm here to tell you There's something else The after world A world of never ending happiness You can always see the sun, day or night.. ' So we say farewell Prince. The hard part is over. You got through this thing called 'LIFE'. May you rest in never ending happiness. Thank you for your activism and the great contribution of music from the heart that you left behind to help us get through this thing called life. #Prince #RIPPrince #InLovingMemory ・・・ #Repost @kingdomcrunkdradio with @repostapp
