He was found unresponsive in his elevator at his complex. from Paisley Park in Minneapolis the number of songs seven-time Grammy winner 30 nominations the number of songs that have touched people's lives throughout their careers this will be very, very difficult news to assimilate in recent times Music lovers have been confused by the tragic and shocking news that some of their most beloved stars had died under controversial circumstances.

The music world has once again been stunned by the sudden and tragic news that the legendary musician died in his Minneapolis home at the age of just 57 as expected. live to be ninety, you know, do concerts and joy. I mean, he's just all about joy and he brings so much joy to so many people. He loved connecting with you through music.

If you're a Prince fan, you feel like he's spoken to you, he's known all over the world, but he's from Minnesota and we're all from Minnesota, and when you lose one of our own, just like his people, you have to show up and show respect, he put everything he had into the music, I mean, he lived in his studio, so he just put everything he had into it and took stories from people's lives. of his own experiences in life and put them into his music and I think that's why the world just related to him not so much as a black artist but as an artist in general, I mean, he had one of the most seen a all these people together and they are all united to come and pay their respects.

I think the world is going to take a break from everything that's been going on and just remember someone who deserves it and that he's been there for everyone, I mean he did. a lot of kids events, a lot of you know handicap events and you know he just gave it all back to the community.

We have no reason to believe at this time that this was a suicide, but again, this is at the beginning of this investigation and continuing. We received a call yesterday at 10:12 am to assist the Carver County Sheriff's Office in this investigation. Our chief medical examiner arrived on scene yesterday at 11:30 a.m. local time. time and was at the scene for several hours the autopsy this morning began at 9:00 a.m. central time and concluded at 1:00 p.m. and shortly after I received the news that his body left a Midwestern medical examiner's office and was released to the family just days before his death, the

's private plane made an emergency landing in Illinois because he suddenly he got sick An audio recording of the pilot requesting an emergency landing reports that a passenger did not respond.

The musician was transported to the hospital where he was given an injection of narcan and an antidote often used in suspected drug overdoses. Doctors reportedly urged Prince to stay in the hospital for at least 24 hours, but Prince checked. After just three hours, authorities confirmed that the star was last seen alive at 8:00 p.m. On Wednesday night, an hour after he was photographed at a pharmacy near his home, in addition to all the reports about Prince's clean living mechanism, his Jehovah's Witnesses believe there are also a wide range of reports about his opiate addiction, his love of pills and some of the less clean living things that may have happened towards the end of his life and actually contributed to his death dr.

Day, who claims to be Prince, is a drug dealer and again we don't know if this is the case. He said he never met anyone who suffered as much stage fright as Prince and this relates to the narcissism that was at the heart of In his bag, the man who, on the one hand, has to be bigger and bigger than the rest, carries that private vulnerability, that naked insecurity in the bra that is part of the impulse that makes him act. The man who, on the one hand, is too scared to move forward. stage, however, when he is on stage, she is too obsessive and too motivated to get off of it.

That combination is toxic and also responsible for the work of so many great artists and perhaps that is why artists like Prince, that is the price they pay for creativity. Faustian pact if you want to be made give me my creativity give me my art and I will give you my life On June 3, 2016 it was confirmed that Prince's death was the result of an accidental overdose of the painkiller fentanyl the Midwest doctor's report The office The coroner's report in Minnesota came more than a month after the singer was found dead in an elevator at his home, according to the autopsy report, which includes self-administered fentanyl and an opioid many times more powerful than heroin.

In the weeks after his death, investigators had been looking into whether Prince had a problem with prescription drugs, surprising Prince's close friends and family, who claimed that Prince avoided alcohol and drugs and maintained a lifestyle of Healthy life; However, Prince's team had been arranging treatment with a California addiction doctor to help kick his addiction to painkillers, according to a search. order obtained by news agencies the day before Prince's death a local doctor treated him for fatigue and anemia stemming from apparent opioid withdrawal for weeks the world's media speculated about the cause of Prince's death now that we know the truth Prince's musical legacy can live on without being shrouded in the mystery of his sudden death, the

prince

was one of the most naturally talented artists of all time and also one of the most mysterious.

This man is one of the most committed artists I have ever met. By that I mean a total and absolute commitment to music. He was able to do almost anything in the '80s, at a time when other megastars like Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen and Madonna released an album roughly every three years. Prince remained prolific to an almost inhuman degree. To say he was prolific would be an understatement his genius was unbridled he was unstoppable he wrote his first song when he was, I think, seven years old and he went on to sell over a hundred million albums 100 million albums he became one of the most iconic artists of all time. times he contributed to fashion he contributed to a

movie

, he contributed to music, but the only constant in his life that sustained him and sustained her: creativity was his work ethic, a byproduct of his inexhaustible output was Prince's tendency towards movements capricious and self-indulgent professionals who sometimes alienated even their most ardent followers.

His influence is unmatched and his legacy will live on through his inspiring music when Prince's greatest talent as an artist was connecting, engaging and forcing people to not be able to look away from his music in this fascinating documentary in which we analyze in depth. the life and times of one of music's greatest performers, Prince in a 1999 interview with B and Tonight. Prince, you know, said that he got into music and did what he does because he just loved playing, you know, jumping. Off K's nose, as he says in the interview, you still like him, why not go on a date?

Oh man, that's my life. I got into the music business because I loved playing, you don't really get into the business to be a star, at least I didn't. I wasn't into making a lot of money or anything like that? I met a lot of women. It just so happens that those are the things that came along with it, but I was always playing a lot and that's what it is. about jumping off the piano, that's all, it's about jumping off the piano, don't hurt your foot with your work, the feeling you get from it is that its nature is its words, you know, the art came first, the money of the women came later and that again, the keys.

In a number of things, including your work ethic, the world is

of people who want the world and they want it now, they want the money, they want the women, they want the sex, they want the fame, they want the adoration, but they don't They put in the time and the effort and they don't have the kind of intense passion for their art that Prince had and it's that line that separates the geniuses if you want those who become artists of Prince's caliber and there are not many of them around Prince, You know, they are in a very small and thin group of the most iconic figures of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Prince arrived on the scene in the late '70s and it didn't take him long to revolutionize the music world with With his striking music and calm demeanor, he rewrote the rule book by forging a synthesis of black funk and white rock that served as a model for avant-garde music in the '80s. Prince made dance music that rocked and rock music that had a bristly funky backbone. The things that Prince will always be remembered for is the way he could change the genre of music with absolute fluidity, whether it was pop, rock or fun to R&B, and he didn't just do it from album to album, he completely changed the style of music.

From song to song on an album, what was revolutionary about this man was that he was completely fluent in a wide range of styles of music and loved to use them together in different ways and experiment in a way that no one really did. up to that point, before or from the beginning, Prince and his music were androgynous, sexy and provocative; His colorful image and revolutionary music made Prince a figure comparable in its paradigm-shifting impact to Little Richard James Brown and Jimi Hendrix. Not only did he release a series of groundbreaking albums, he toured frequently, he produced albums and wrote songs for many other artists. and recorded hundreds of songs that still remain unreleased in his vaults with each album he released Prince showed notable stylistic growth and musical diversity constantly experimenting with different sounds, textures and genres, occasionally his music. he was inconsistent in part because of his eclecticism, but his experiments were frequently successful; no other contemporary artist blended so many diverse styles into a cohesive

When you think about impressions, you really imagine what you see in the video of a

purple

ring, first of all, it is dressed in purple. he is on stage, he is acting, he is a superstar and he is showing a very sexy and powerful stage presence even though he is not a very big guy, he has a very big presence and when he is on stage he looks like a very big individual and I think what you see in Purple Rain are scenes from the

movie

, the very famous movie, of course, called Purple Rain, woven throughout the video, the story here is about a performer, a guy who fronts a band that gets on to the stage and sings, which is very complicated personal life is dark it's not exactly a happy song but there are many overtures of this kind of gothic romanticism that we see in prints throughout his career.

I think Purple Rain is an incredible song, it's kind of an anthem and you know there's a lot of apocryphal imagery. Prince was asked about it many times and at the time he had a real fascination with the apocalypse and the end of the world and Purple Rain is about really about when the sky turned red and blue and it rained purple and it's the end of the world and it's being with a person you love and your God at that moment, that's what Princess basically alluded to later in life , as Rolling Stone stated in 1989, perhaps more than any other artist.

Prince set the tone for pop music in the 1980s, imprinting the Minneapolis on him. sound in an entire generation of musicians, both white and black, the product of a broken home. Prince found refuge in music. I was leaving school and I looked down and I saw this guy going in front of me and he was the shorter guy, the guy didn't know. After a while I realized and we used to call him skipper, that was the only name I knew him by until he made his album, the only time I really realized it was when I always saw Prince playing the keyboard well and I thought it was keyboardist at the time, suddenly got off the keyboard, sat on the side of the stage and Carlos Santana started playing.

That was the firsttime I heard him play a guitar and he mastered it in his teens. He mastered multiple instruments. and was fronting his first band, Grand Central, a demo tape by the young prodigy generated interest from a major record label and the 18-year-old Prince signed with Warner Brothers insisting on the right to self-produce his music, which he called the attention of Warner Brothers Records. by a local Warner Brothers rep who said we have this fantastic kid in Minnesota and you really have to listen to him, and they signed him up and said, "We think he's so good that we're going to have him work with Maurice White." he recommended that he work with Maurice White, the recently deceased Earth Wind & Fire eminence.

Now, in the late 1970s, you couldn't find a more attractive producer than Maurice White unless it was Barry Gibb. Please surprise that Prince said no I'll do it myself and he played all the instruments himself so even from the age of 17 and 18 he was completely determined to be in charge of his own career, Prince released his first album for you in April 1978 with minimal fanfare, Soft and Wet presented its erotic approach While I Want to Be Your Lover and Why Do You Want to Treat Me So Badly on later albums, Prince suggested. His musical range and profile increased significantly.

Interest in the young star was further fueled by Dirty Mind, a provocative and sinuously funky album that appeared as a directional marker in the early '80s. The edgy New Wave ish When You Were Mine became a club hit. however, Dirty Mind proved largely too interesting to handle on the radio. The Dirty Mind album wasn't suitable for radio airplay for princely reasons, as you can imagine, although When You Were Mine was a great song that has become something of a standard recorded by several artists, including Cyndi Lauper. and we didn't really know if he was going to get it back on track until controversy arose and now at this point it was four albums in four years and this was the pace at which it was going to continue throughout the 1980s.

His breakthrough It was in 1999, a self-produced double album made in his home studio. He toned down, if not completely dominated, the hardcore sexuality and longer dance tracks appealed to both disco and new wave fans, while many saw divisions and culture in terms of everything from musical. preferences for skin color Prince formed a partisan unity around diverse audiences shared interests in dance music sex and romance those were the priorities outlined in dmsr one of the key themes of 1999 the album released three major singles little red Corvette delirious and 1999 1999 may be It's called 1999, but this is a Quinta Senescal music video from the 80s.

They all have a lot of hair. Everyone seems to have a perm. You have a lot of one-handed gloves, hat, asymmetrical hairstyle and all the other things you associate. with the 80s it has the feel of an 80s song, it has a lot of the look of an 80s song, you see Prince on stage with his band playing and it's about highlighting his presence at concerts, his presence on stage and show that you know how to have a good time. At the time he was a pioneer in many ways, his video for Little Red Covet, for example, along with Michael Jackson's Billie Jean, paved the way for black artists to be represented on MTV, where he could innovate and always I wanted to push. the limits and that is the sign of a great artist one of the defining releases of the 80s along with Michael Jackson's Thriller and Bruce Springsteen born in the USA 1984 is Purple Rain elevated impressions from cult hero to superstar the film loosely based on his life story it was set in Minneapolis and his real-life hangout, the First Avenue and Seventh Street entrance, Club Prince wrote the treatment and played the lead role, the film grossed eighty million dollars and the album that earned Prince an Oscar for best soundtrack

ed in the charts for a year, Purple.

Rain let's go crazy and when the doves cry are the featured tracks in when the doves cry, the video starts with Prince naked in a bathtub and it's a bit of a surprising image because of how feminine it looks, but at the same time it has this sensuality very masculine. energy coming out of the bathtub and we see this kind of revealing shot of her washboard abs and she crawls on the floor in this very naked feline way. It's really interesting to watch this video because you see impressions and clips of Purple Rain where he is a rock star with a very problematic home life, you see him on stage and then you see him running home where his stepfather is abusing his mother and he has to keep him away from his mother, he leaves traces as the protagonist, but it is also a very sexual way to start the video.

We didn't see a lot of musicians, male musicians at this time exposing themselves in this way, like starting out naked in a bathtub, but that's really a very important part of hypersexualized. image that Prince was already putting in the video for Let's Go Crazy is quintessential Prince, you have him on stage in tight pants and a ruffled, high-necked blouse playing a guitar and looking very sexual and in control interspersed in the In The video has scenes of Purple Rain's sex scenes with the beautiful Apollonia showing her courtship and seduction by Prince and also some of the scenes of her very problematic home life.

It's a long music video and it looks a lot like an advertisement. or the movie trailer for any other artist. Purple Reign would have been a tough act to follow, but Prints already had another album in the works worldwide within a day, a tour de force of psychedelic soul released in 1985 and becoming his second consecutive number one. -an album and the first to appear on his own Paisley Park label with Prince mania in

effect, the album spawned two more top ten hits, Raspberry Beret and Pop Life, including a Bad Movie Under the Cherry Moon. Prince's first real mistake couldn't stop his momentum as the soundtrack parade accompanied him included the classic kiss, his third number one single in the children's video, we see Prince in this very sexy two-piece outfit, the part top almost looks like an exercise shirt for a woman's abdomen and wears black like four. leggings is a very feminine androgynous look for Prince.

The breaking of barriers of many princes had to do with the way in which he seemed to be of two genders at the same time and in this video we see him in a way as if he were prancing as if he were a very sexy woman with heels revealing her dress, but at the same time he is a very masculine, sexual man who wants a woman, so it is an interesting combination and it is a motif that Prince would play with throughout his career. even wanting to be called a symbol that was both masculine and feminine.

Prince reached an artistic peak with Sign of the Times in 1987. Sign of the Times was Prince's most musically expansive and lyrically incisive album. Sign of Times was the first pop hit to reference. to AIDS, the disease of the 1980s and even recorded it for the first time a year before it came out, but even after those years of waiting, which no one knew was a wait, it was still a rest room, that's right as he was ahead of time in the sobering sign of the times. Prince listed a catalog of social ills over a skeletal funk track, other hits from the album included "You Got the Look," a duet with Sheena Easton, and "I Never Could Take the Place of Your Man" around this time.

Prince spoke of dueling identities within himself, evoking characters who represented his good side, Camille, and his dark, creepy, electric side, the latter having its voice in Black Album, a controversial hardcore set that was aborted shortly before. After its planned release, in its place came love sexy, which contained the fantastic Street alphabet, commercially Prince found himself back on top. In 1989 with his soundtrack to the first Batman film, the prince's dense, tangled funk mixed with the dark gothic vision of film producer Tim Burton and resulted in the album Batman and the single Bat Dance reaching the top of the lists, which was several cases if you think about it, Tim.

Burton with that movie basically gave Jack Nicholson a co-star, as the Joker could just say to Prince, give me a soundtrack and it was fantastic dance number one. A year later, Prince made another of his own films, Graffiti Bridge, although it was criticized. The soundtrack of the double album was compelling, particularly the passionate thieves and the temple in the early '90s. Prince assembled a backing band, the new generation of energy, they debuted with diamonds and pearls. Prince's most accessible and successful film album since Purple Rain. Everything about it was elaborately conceived, including the holographic. cover album brought Prince back to the radio with a string of funky, upbeat hits, come out of diamonds and pearls, money don't matter tonight and cream, cream video is as sexy as one would think it would be when it comes to the name of the song and the type of performer Prince is, you see him dressed in his ruffled collared blouse and his tight pants and high heels gyrating on stage with very scantily clad women in sort of body suits at one point even fucking on the stage where he is prancing. around and it's a very hypersexual song, the lyrics are sexual, the video is sexual and it's really a celebration of the naughty side of impressions that people really came back for diamonds and pearls.

It would become Prince's biggest album of the '90s, followed in 1992 by an album that marked the first appearance of the symbol that Prince would formally adopt a year later as his name. Ironically, the album whose title was a symbol and therefore referred to as the symbol of love, the album opened with a song called my name is. Prince, the numerologically minded 7, peaked at No. 7, but Prince's most infectious funk exercise, sexy MF, proved too profane for radio. Imprinting still seemed to be on a roll in August 1992, he signed a contract extension with Warner Brothers for six more albums and acquired the title. as vice president with the label, however, in the mid-90s, relations deteriorated when he began appearing in public with the word slave scrawled on his face while agitating to get off the label in the 1999 B et Tonight interview. .

Prince spoke about press 1, the most controversial. What he did was he changed his name from Prince to the artist formerly known as Prince or the artist or and he created a love symbol to represent that and the fascinating thing about what he said was not controversial about what he said, what he described himself in addition. as a slave and makes it clear that he is not talking about the type of slavery that African Americans had to endure when they first came to America, that is not the type of slavery he is talking about, he says yes, he says it is relative.

Prince was in a trap Prince was not under contract Prince was owned you know, now I can't use Purple Rain I can't use this song I can't sell the song Purple Reign now unless I record it again, which I plan to do if In fact, I can't get the master recording that I think is one of my kids, you know, so I did it. I had to free myself from the mentality of being a slave, you understand, okay, and that's not to equate myself with the same situations as us. You suffered when you came to this country, but you know that everything is relative if you are alone, if you can't do everything you want, if there is a limit and you are not allowed to go as high as you can. in fact, a slave, quite tellingly, says that if you own, you own, and if you can't do everything you want, then you're a slave, and that sums up both Prince's desire to control his own destiny and his obsessive compulsion to be the best artist possible, which is a rare thing.

Drive, the only artists of Prince's caliber and only an artist like Prince could do that is what made him who he is in 1993. Prince launched an independent label npg. records with the different artists a compilation of 800 new funk, his next single, the most beautiful girl in the world, which also appeared on n PG, marked a return to success making Prince's video for the most beautiful girl in the world, is one of his most romantic videos. that he did in his career was the first song released on the album right after he changed his name for a symbol and it was a different kind of Prince than we were used to seeing because he was a prince who was very into I love it, this is the woman who inspired the song, his then-fiancee, his friend García, whom he ended up marrying shortly after recording the video on Valentine's Day.

The video is about marriage. There is a beautiful bride and princess standing there looking quite majestic in red dresses. he's singing about this woman who is the most beautiful girl in the world. You don't see Prince spinning around fucking getting naked. Other things you see in Prince videos. This video is romantic. It is a celebration of love and largely reflects the mood. That prince was in himself when he made this song,Meanwhile relations with Warner Brothers, with whom he was still under contract, were seriously deteriorating, the release of Gold Experience being delayed as he argued with the label disenchanted with what he saw as an unfairly one-sided relationship. between the label and the artists who turned the latter into slaves Prince was released from his contract with Warner Brothers in 1996 his last album of new music for the label was chaos and disorder after being released from his old label he quickly resumed his prolific ways Distributed through a special arrangement with Arista Ravon for Joy Fantastic gave Prince the best of both worlds artistic ownership of his work and major label distribution.

The album was notable for its production credit imprints that marked the first time he returned to his former name in six years in February 2004 Prince appeared with Beyonce at the Grammy Awards playing his own Purple Rain let's go crazy and baby I'm a star along with Beyonce's Crazy Lover a month later he was inducted into the Hall of Fame. Rock and Roll fame during the closing At the ceremony, he played the song that ends solo in George Harrison's while my guitar cries softly, captivating the assembly with his fierce virtuosity and they are doing it while my guitar cries softly and during the first three minutes or so Tom Petty and Jeff Lynn trade lead vocals and it's one of those musical superstar champions and then Prince has a minute long guitar piece and rips the roof off the fool and there he is with all these famous people in the stage and is completely stealing the show and at the end of his solo he throws his guitar in the air and in the clip you don't see the guitar go down, but from the line of sight you can see that he is just watching to make sure his roadies catch the thing and then he leaves the stage with the door and the look of like this I did it now when I came to this world to do it and then he comes out together these performances he recorded the talk of pop music again something similar would happen when he played the Super Bowl of 2007 halftime show Prince's 2007 Super Bowl performance is widely considered the biggest and best Super Bowl performance of all time, critics were absolutely blown away by his stage presence and the magnificence of his performance .

You have to imagine the scene in Miami and it's Torrential Rain is one of the only times it has poured rain at halftime of the Super Bowl in history, if not the only time, another thing he did that was extraordinary was cover other songs during performance, primarily when Super Bowl performers are asked to perform them. They make their own music and maybe invite a guest singer to come and do a song like we saw with Coldplay and Beyonce, but usually they make their own songs, what Prince did was cover other songs like Jimi Hendrix and the Foo Fighters on in the middle of this incredible performance of his own hit and everyone was incredibly excited to see Prince appear standing outside, completely soaked, and yet it didn't take away one ounce from the high-powered energy and absolute awesomeness of his performance.

I think what Prince very smartly did here was give the audience what he knew they wanted: a good time full of energy and music that they loved from mid-2010 to late 2012. Prince toured all of Europe, America, Europe again, Canada. and Australia during 2013 released several singles beginning with Screwdriver and continuing with Breakfast Can You Wait In the summer of that year all of this activity was a prelude to the spring announcement that Prince had resigned from Warner Brothers Records, the label with which he had had a feud 20 years earlier. As part of the deal, he ended up receiving ownership of his master recording and the label plans to reissue a campaign that would begin with an expanded reissue of Purple Rain roughly in time to celebrate its 30th anniversary in the same way that Prince is hard to pin down. .

When it comes to a type of musical genre, Prince was very much an enigma throughout his entire career, he refused to be defined even in terms of gender, he was a man, he was a woman, he was gay, he was straight, he would be black and white, it was him. He was definitely black, but in some of the videos of him he has so much powder on his face that he looks completely white. His dressing style is masculine but super feminine. His sexuality was very much that of a male predator going to seduce a young woman, but he was also The Hyperfeminine Prince was an enigma in the sense that you couldn't really identify who and what he was and that was part of his appeal.

Like a wonderful anecdote that was told by Prince's publicist and they say that after a performance the band would watch a video of the show they had just performed so they would all sit backstage and every time they saw a bad note they would reprimand the band. person who did it, that's what it meant to work for Prince and while at times he could and was certainly overbearing and unforgiving, that's how you get better at things and that's why Prince was an inspiration. You know, artists like that don't happen overnight, they have to work at it and that anecdote really sums up that obsessive desire to just achieve. a pinnacle of creative achievement that no other artist had ever achieved and you have to have that dynamic to perform as beautifully and create as prolifically as an artist like Prince because there is a fact about perfectionists and narcissists, but particularly true for perfectionists our two. are very closely linked is that they can't never be good enough less perfectionist you never achieve perfection and you always strive for it you want more and more and more and more let's do this right let's just do this This is true, but it's never good enough , you always have to improve and it is that narcissism but perfectionism and that incredible creative drive and work ethic that makes a genius like Prince since Prince's death the world press rave about Prince's otherworldly talents and profound talents . impact on pop music here is a person who combined elements of James Brown with Jimi Hendrix did it at the highest level in the world and meanwhile also controlled every element of the production of his music.

In short, Prince's legacy would be about his pure Raw Talent, a guy who could play every instrument on every track on every album, who released 39 albums in his career and left thousands of songs in a vault in his house when he died. I get the impression that no one should worry about what they did. I didn't get the best of Prince because, it seems to me, the best of Prince was not what he withheld but what he gave, so, in fact, we all got the business, the seven Grammy Awards, the Golden Globe, the Academy Award. Academia, the virtuoso mastery of each instrument. he found the mythical persona, he cultivated the singular and revolutionary artistic vision he possessed, which transcended race, culture and sex, there the legendary parts that made up Prince, an incomparable force that he took too soon but whose work will radiate into eternity.
