You were, and will always be, a great inspiration. A hero. A soul who valued love and creativity over everything. You provided the soundtrack to my childhood, prepared my loins for adulthood, and continue to fill my heart with joy.
It was you who showed me it was okay to fail, that trying something different was not only okay - but needed. This world needed you, and you're leaving it a better place than you found it.
Thank-you for the music, the smiles, the parties, the jokes... thank-you for some of the best times I have experienced. And thanks for winking at that weird 9 year old in the front row, way back in July of 1990. It confirmed that being a little odd was cool :)
Thank-you Prince. Now, get some rest.

Amazing musician, pushed a lot of the boundaries and got people thinking out of the box in so many ways. I hope we aren't going to lose all of that when these greats pass on. Hopefully someone out there is following the example set by him and others.
