Where do I start...18 days ago I got a text from a friend that made me turn on the news that news made me instantly burst into tears .... I have never felt the loss of someone I have never met so deeply. I'm the lost child who when things were tough listened to Prince in my room. And when times were good danced to turns like 1999zzz From purple rain to singing about Mr McGee (which just happened to be the name of my dearly missed grandpa ) and belting his hits out with him whilst driving my car. It feels so bizarre that I will never again have the opportunity to sit and wait excitedly to get tickets for a just-announced gig. I was however, lucky enough to see him live a number of times and that was just the best live music events ever ...what sticks in my head is taking my husband who was sceptical and then totally blown away.. I recall him commenting on how prince connected with the crowd but also how much prince himself was having a good time.. His words now are he is the best live performer he has ever seen... and I believe ever will see. My 19-year-old son belts out all the prince hits in his room ...his regret ? Never getting to see him perform live ....
Prince you will always be missed and will never be copied or your like seen again ... How lucky was I to share my favourite colour purple and experience such musical talent from such a genius ... Every song has meaning and so many lines ring true how lucky am I that that in my lifetime I got that experience. thank you for the memories, music getting me through the tough times and the good times and for all the wonderful charitable things you did that we are only just hearing of... I keep hoping the news 18 days ago was just a bad dream and that I will soon waken. Your one of the brightest stars sleep well and rest in purple ????
