If I ever catch 2016 out in the real world, I’m gonna beat it to fucking death.

You SHOULD NOT feel like you ‘shouldn’t be upset about a stranger dying’. I hate when people get flack for feeling sad about something like this. He obviously had an effect on so many people. It’s a human emotion. We’re allowed to feel it as strongly as it happens to present. What kind of a monster only has feelings…

Thanks. I am now crying out BOTH eyes. At work. No, but seriously, thanks. This is so... *sobs*

I am heartbroken

Prince Rogers Nelson was my first love. 5th grade me is devastated and so is super old "adult" me. I was sad about Bowie because of his greatness and I saw him in concert, but Prince is PART OF MY SOUL. I hope he didn't suffer.

Local NPR station (God bless Jason Bentley) just played “when doves cry” follow by “let’s go crazy” FUCK YES. I am crying and jamming out at the same time.

Goodbye, tiny purple genius. The world was much more interesting while you were in it. Thanks for giving the most interesting parts of my life a kickass soundtrack.

Clearly I didn’t personally know Prince and I know people can’t live forever and I shouldn’t be this upset about a stranger dying but, shit, this stings. This stings hard.

Maybe George R.R. Martin is taking so long releasing the latest ASOIAF book because he’s busy writing 2016. Stop killing our favorite characters!

The Little Red Corvette is crying too.

Fuckin’ 2016 - can someone send this year on a hunting trip with Dick Cheney?

Oh my god it’s Prince. What is WRONG with 2016?

This is what it sounds like when the doves and everyone else cries. :(

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NONO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NONO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO…

I just saw a picture of him and wondered if he was immortal. He looked the same as he did 30 years ago.

I think if we all start listening to Pussy Control immediately our combined efforts will make him not dead.

If Prince is dead, 2016 gets a huge fucking BYE FELICIA from me.

NO. IT IS NOT PRINCE, PRINCE IS IMMORTAL.

If it is Prince, shouldn’t we all be considered next of kin? WHY WON’T THEY TELL US?
