The music industry and the world at large are mourning the sudden death of the legendary Prince, who passed away today aged just 57.
With fans in a state of shock, so too are his peers and the countless artists he inspired in his short but impactful time on earth.
Here’s what they are saying…
Numb. Stunned. This can't be real.

My whole day is effed – Man, RIP to Prince. One of the GREATEST that has ever done it. damn man

??????????????????????????Prince coming to block Beyonces album and hbo mess
Prince was a CONSTANT…he was ALWAYS THERE…always AMAZING, always GENIUS…always looked EXACTLY the same…let me rephrase that…PRINCE IS A CONSTANT…his music has always been there and will always be there for me or ANYONE…just GENIUS…ORIGINAL, ORIGINAL, ORIGINAL…never wanted the fame, but he SHINED SO BRIGHT he HAD to be SEEN…he had to be HEARD…Purple Rain…my GOODNESS…that song is LIFE…so much emotion…so much pain, joy, hurt, sadness, happiness, bliss…just every human emotion put into ONE SONG…if there is ever another artist as talented as Prince, then GOD BLESS THE DAY we get to hear it…because PRINCE IS MUSIC. PERIOD. Love him! Thank GOD I got the chance to see him in concert…he sang every song PERFECTLY, note for note…his screams are actual notes, because he hits them everytime…we can talk all day about the barriers he broke for African-Americans…how many careers owe their COINS to his musical genius…how he broke down musical boundaries and was unafraid to show vulnerability in his music…PRINCE IS A CONSTANT. God bless his family and friends…
OMG NO WAY!!! ????
I’m waiting for Mooriah to tweet I don’t know him
.
Bye career ender!
Sis I’m not career ender now stay in your lane because I’m not afraid to drag a fellow C squad
Stop trolling
Is that comment really necessary? Grow up!! RIP Prince

Kii you suddenly become relevant and start selling albums once you die
.
I gave my roses while he could smell them.
I still can’t believe this smh. God bless take good care of Mariah and Janet too ! I can’t with the artists I grew up leaving this works so early. First MJ, Whitney, now Prince God Good ??
thats always the sad case, express love when gone. The man amongst others (Michael, Whitney) changed the game to what we see being influenced today (Usher, Chris Brown, Bruno Mars, Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson etc.) Prince was on that level with originality and eccentric style (heels, beard,s*** girlfriends)
Thank You, for sharing your talent with the world,RIP
when nobody buys albums anymore this looks like much for a moment… huh? *shrugs*
Oh Sam has a heart?
I’ll never get over this.
I´m so f****** shocked. First thing i thought after clicking on TGJ and seeing this was you really. One of teh very few here who stand for real talent and always spoke about Prince.
This has hit me in a way nothing else ever has…His music has been a part of my life.I’m truly devastated bro
I can’t even fathom what happened. This is so sad. I know that Legends Panel is supposed to be over now, but they HAVE to make one remembering Prince’s legacy now. My mom is gonna be so upset when she hears the news.
Be thankful for everyday you have, life is short!
#RIP #Prince ???
Somebody pinch me
Sam ! Will you please ban that C Squad troll?
This s*** is not funny
Bish bye!
.
If you can’t stand the heat get out the f****** kitchen you bottom f**!
TROLL
I still can’t believe that Prince is gone?
Yes, this is sad…but Yonce is coming! His death was the universe letting one legend die for another to emerge. #Lemonade #YAAASSSSBIIITTTCCCHH
This is why people hate us (the Hive). Dumb stupid ass comments like that.
That’s not BeyHive sweetie. It’s a troll doing the absolute most! When have we ever seen that username on this site?
Comment Deleted.
Moderator: If you continue to troll under these various accounts, spewing inappropriate, morbid, disgusting racist rhetoric, we will be forced to ban you, PERMANENTLY.
You know who you are-Sam
MESS!!!
Sam! How many warnings are you going to give these trolls? How many hateful things do they have to say on order for you to finally ban them ?
WOW…5 decades of simply being comfortable in his own skin. unapologetically
OOOoo I wonder what Bey is going to wear to his funeral…She betta slay
2016 has had a lot of celebrity deaths, thus far. It’s starting to look like 2009.
Beyawnce’s lemonade movie is about to be overshadowed by Prince’s death
.
Must suck that she remains his lessor even in death
Must suck that Man-ara has been a lessor since her 2nd album. Girl go on with that unnecessary mess.
What the hell? I just came home and first thing I see is this: absolutely shocking. I eman, how? Wow. That´s f****** legend right there. Damn it Michael, Whitney and Prince in just 6 years. I mean, REAL legands. I´m shocked by this news.
None of us ever saw this coming
I would like to see you jump off a cliff. Put yourself out of your misery already, k***.
B**** what gave you the impression that I give a f*** about how you feel ?
…because I don’t
So much for that #1 rih. Prince will sell big this week. Mj sales were massive. How odd. The LEMONADE TRAILER total viewership via youtube is 4.5 million. The exact same ammout as the needed me video. Those HBO ratings will be same as the life is but a dream doc if not close. Wish bey wouldve promoted it on ellen
Y’all acting a mess in this post! Bringing up things that have nothing to do with Prince! These troll accounts are extremely unnecessary! Sam should just expose whoever it is!
I just can’t believe he died so young by something like the flu it’s crazy i just get so tried of the icons dieing it’s just not right rip to King of pop GOD BLESS
Can we get over prince for a second and focus on more important matters? Wheres is the post on the LEMONADE trailers already clocking almost 5 mill in less than a full wk or needed me video almost 5 mill also and only out for a DAY. Very impressive for both. Prince death is so 4 hours ago. Prince didnt give 2 fuccs about ANYONE but himself.
No we can’t everything is not about beyonce and most important has some respect
The Aaliyah fan kills me!! Like OMG stop bringing Aaliyah up all the time no one is here for it!! STILL! You talk about Blue so damn right you getting dragged and if Aaliyah so happens to come up, so be it.
A legend and truly an icon RIP Prince. Gone way too soon
Prince’s eyebrows in that picture snatchedt the remainders of what was left of my edges! ?? RIP to this epic legend! His revolutionary music, work ethic and shade will be endlessly remembered and adored by many! ??
Why is there pettiness in this post. Now is NOT the time for it @Aaliyahdanacarter. RIP to a TRUE music icon… Prince.
RIP Prince
Rip to prince also heard that he did recording new music of this year
