Prince – is a legend, is a genius, who made an enormous contribution to culture

For the first time I got to show his Purple Rain.. I was about four years old. I took along my father, with whom I was on the weekend.

The last time I saw a performance of Prince’s, when I was 21 years old. It was one of his concerts in Columbia, South Carolina.

I saw Prince on first concert during his tour in London at the O2 arena, which lasted 21 days. It was August 21, 2007.

The show was simply amazing. Especially I remember how the public twice caused his encore. It was the best performance I’ve ever seen. Thank you for the music, Prince. Another great left too early

Ross Earley, Vancouver, Canada:.

The death of Prince saddened me. He was a great musician and showman.

I was fortunate to see him during the concert December 16, 2011 in Vancouver. I danced without stopping, until he and his group performed. The street was in the winter wind, and on the scene thanks to this guy reigned real heat.

I am so glad that I saw it firsthand. He was a genius. . Rest in peace, Prince

In 1984, after a car accident, I was on crutches. My older sister – also a big fan of Prince – once got on one of his legendary unplanned concerts in Chicago

Having played a few hours on the scene, Prince suddenly appeared in a small club and played there a couple of hours

Sister was present at how Prince improvised with Meyseo Parker from the group of James Brown and soul singer Macy Gray.

Jeff Oliver, Stockport, Cheshire, UK :

For me it was a great honor to see performances by Prince. He will always be my favorite entertainer.

I have been twice at his concerts -in 1990 in Manchester and in the past year in Leeds, where I was near the scene and managed a split second to catch his eye. I will remember this moment all my life.

All these years, since 15 years, I was living his music. Today, I am 47, and I feel as if I have lost one of the members of the family

I’m shocked and completely devastated by the sad news of his death.

I’ve always been a big fan of Prince but I did not see his performances at the time when he was at the zenith of fame.

I was able to do this a few years ago at the Manchester Arena stage, when he came on tour in Britain.

He was the best showman of all that I have ever seen. He was a real innovator, a creative genius, a pioneer. Rest in peace.
