Prince (1958-2016)

For years, Prince was aggressively protective of his 2008 Coachella cover of “Creep,” removing any and all video footage or audio recordings that appeared online. His insistence in secrecy was so much to the point that Thom Yorke of Radiohead bemusedly asked, “He’s blocked it? Hang on a moment. Well, tell him to unblock it. It’s our … song.” But no longer. Yesterday, Prince tweeted out a link to a video of the performance on YouTube, seemingly giving his blessing and giving us a much-sought listen to the glorious, 8-minute cover. Ethereal and grunge, heavy on guitar solos and vocally stunning, there’s a reason Prince—and Radiohead—fans tried so hard to have it heard. (Daqui – em 2015)

Algumas rapidinhas:

Prince disse numa entrevista que tem mais de mil músicas por lançar. Herberto e Pessoa, sois uns meninos.

Numa outra entrevista disse que se tivesse de ser (a morte) que fosse em Abril. E foi mesmo.

Da aristocracia: no dia em que a rainha faz anos morre o Prince.
