Prince

Since the passing of the iconic Prince, musicians around the world are still in mourning over the sudden loss of one of music's greatest stars. KISS bassist Gene Simmons, always a lightning rod for controversy, made some unsavory remarks about the musician's death, calling it, in short, "pathetic...

Add David Gilmour to the list of those remembering Prince in song, though he did so with a twist.

Everyone is talking today about how great Prince is. Honestly - he really was amazing. He could sing, wail on the guitar, and even wrote hits for other artists. A good majority of my morning today was just watching videos of him playing guitar.

In 2007, Prince delivered the Super Bowl halftime show that many are judged by, covering Foo Fighters, Queen, Jimi Hendrix and more amidst his own hits.

The music community is responding to the death of musician-entertainer Prince.

Prince, legendary musician and actor from Purple Rain, has died, according to TMZ. He was 57.

Before Prince was … well, Prince, and apparently he was a pretty decent basketball player back in his middle school and high school days in Minneapolis.

Prince sat in with Nile Rodgers on a cover of David Bowie's No. 1 hit.

ComicsAlliance concludes its celebration of the 25th anniversary of Tim Burton's Batman with a presentation of the 1989 Warner Bros. press release announcing Prince's involvement with the film, discovered after an exhaustive search of vintage movie memorabilia.

In the summer of 1989, primed by "Kiss" and "Alphabet St." and "Sign 'O' the Times" to expect brilliance from the first taste of new Prince music, I raced out to buy "Batdance," the first single to be released from his soundtrack to Tim Burton's Batman. It seemed like a great idea at the time. I remember my feeling of dazed disappointment the first time I heard "Batdance" lurch to an end. "Batdance" isn't even a song, as such, but a cluster of unrelated chunks of underdone rhythm tracks, ineptly pasted together with chopped-up samples of film dialogue, a couple of lines flown in from other songs, Prince singing the hook from Neal Hefti's '60s Batman theme, and (in its album mix) a very aggressive guitar solo that has almost nothing to do with what's going on around it. Prince and Batman together? How could that not be awesome? What just went wrong here?

It's hard to imagine that anyone's partying technique would be too much for Prince's tastes; this is, after all, a man who sings about partying like it's 1999 and the sexiness of cheap thrift-store finds with equal adoration. However, it seems that there is at least one person who is too freaky for even Prince to handle. Chico Divine. Who? Chico Divine? Who? Tracy Morgan's freaky-partying alter eg

Stevie Nicks and Prince shared a few moments of musical collaboration during the '80s, but Nicks thinks His Purple Majesty may have had something more intimate on his mind.
