Nacido como Prince Rogers Nelson hace 57 años, el prolífico músico, que acumula un total de 44 álbumes, también dejó su huella en el cine: debutó con ‘Purple Rain’ (1984), una historia semi-autobiográfica sobre un joven atormentado por los abusos familiares, personaje que rescataría en ‘Graffiti Bridge’ (1990), dirigida por él mismo. Entre medias codirigió y actuó en ‘Under the Cherry Moon’ (1986), donde interpretó a un gigoló junto a Kristin Scott Thomas.
Además produjo las exitosas bandas sonoras de 'Purple Rain', citada a menudo como una de las mejores de la historia, ‘Under the Cherry Moon’, con un disco titulado 'Parade', y 'Batman' (1989). Como en otras ocasiones cuando ha muerto una figura tan popular, Internet se llena de reacciones ante la noticia. A continuación dejo algunos comentarios destacados:

Once, Prince yelled from the stage that I could dance. He was likely yelling to the girl behind me, but it's still my happiest moment. RIP.— olivia wilde (@oliviawilde) 21 de abril de 2016

Sometimes I feel so bad.
Sometimes I wish that life was never ending,
But all good things, they say, never last.
Well. I am super fucking sad today. 😞😞— #EvanRachelWould (@evanrachelwood) 21 de abril de 2016

The word genius is overused. Prince, however, was a super-genius. Prolific and visionary. And always a sweetheart. Soundtrack of my life.— Rob Lowe (@RobLowe) 21 de abril de 2016
