Non exhaustif, voici un tour des hommages du monde de la musique pour Prince
Prince..j’avoue que c’est un sacré choc.
Il était en tournée, ses mémoires allaient sortir, j’espérais le voir sur scène avec son piano comme annoncé il y a quelques temps et puis… On ne peut pas définir les génies. Je ne supporte pas les innombrables émissions où tout le monde a son avis ou son anecdote à raconter. Tout le monde se met à aimer Bowie, Motorhead ou Prince. Et puis il y a tous les autres, qui au fond d’eux ressentent tout de même un grand vide, sans pouvoir forcément l’expliquer.
C’était un sacré génie, un monstre d’1m55 ! J’ai croisé sa route grâce à Batman, sorti en 1989, j’ai eu la VHS quand j’avais l’âge d’être fan des supers héros et de faire rouler ma batmobile (le super clip est ICI).
Artiste controversé que ce soit dans sa libération sexuelle (physiquement du moins), dans ses lyrics à l’origine de la mise en place du « Parental Advisory explicit content » ou dans sa façon de vivre (en ermite dans sa grande maison, entouré de dizaines de personnes et converti à Jéhovah), il était cependant l’un des plus admiré : virtuose aux concerts de plus de 4h, danseur, acteur….
Même si j’avais été très déçue de son dernier album (avis ICI), ses tubes continuerons à hanter des décennies et des décennies, car les légendes sont immortelles. D’ailleurs, pour changer, ce soir je vais me poser devant VH1 Classic.
Le dessin version St Exupery ne vous aura pas échappé, mais il y a eu aussi ça :
The Rolling Stones
He was a unique talent. A true original. So sad, so sudden and, I will add, a great guitar player. We are all going to miss him.” – Keith Richards
I am so saddened to hear of Prince’s passing. Prince was a revolutionary artist, a wonderful musician and composer. He was an original lyricist and a startling guitar player. His talent was limitless. He was one of the most unique and exciting artists of the last 30 years – Mick Jagger
I will miss a good friend who was so talented. He was such a great performer / guitar player. Sleep well Prince – Ronnie Wood

I’m beyond shocked to be reading the devastating news that one of my biggest influences Prince, has died suddenly. I had the privilege of talking to Prince around 2000. He wanted me to come to Paisley Park and do some recording. I was making a record with Manson at the time and couldn’t break away. A true innovator, a true artist, a true legend and someone that will be terribly missed. RIP. – J5
