At once the guitarist composer multi-instrumental musician and outright superstar of his generation. We miss stellar talent like this through the insanity of over prescribed USA medical treatment - be warned everyone else this is what happens when privatisation and multi-meds prescriptions takes over (see Michael Jackson et al)

Yet always worth remembering 

"Prince was the only guy who could show up at your party, in frills and high heels and steal your girlfriend. Then steal her clothes and steal someone else's girl wearing your girlfriend's clothes.

Comedian Charlie Murphy
