Hello Music lovers,
As promised heres the Prince tribute issue! While we still have a few weeks until the official coroners report comes out its nothing but speculation on how he died exactly. For up to date information, subscribe to our biggest newsletter,
Celebrity Nooz You can also keep up to date for Where are They Now celebs, and a list of who has recently passed.
I have to admit, Im not super knowledgeable about Prince. I only grew up recognizing a handful of songs, but was always vaguely aware of him. At the 2004 Rock N Roll Hall of Fame inductions, there was a George Harrison tribute. Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynne, Dhani Harrison and others performed a great rendition of While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Halfway through, on strolls Prince for the guitar solo (originally done by Eric Clapton on the album)
What follows is probably the most impressive guitarwork I've ever seen live. He makes it look so effortless and it sounds so damn cool.
Just watch everyone else react to Prince and you see who is runnin the show. Bonus points to anyone who can tell me where he puts his guitar after the song is over!
Pleasant Watching,
-Khalil
