Este mediodía nos sorprendió la triste noticia de que Prince, el ídolo del funk, falleció a sus 57 años. El músico de Minneapolis ha sido una fuerte influencia, iniciando estéticas tanto visuales como sonoras muy presentes incluso en la actualidad.
Una vez más las redes sociales fueron el foco de miles de homenajes espontáneos, con fotos, mensajes y videos desde perfiles de músicos como Madonna, Frank Ocean, Justin Vernon, Win Butler, The Weeknd, Lorde, Miguel, MGMT, Ryan Adams, Lenny Kravitz, Missy Elliott y más.

Saying “prince and Bowie influenced MGMT” is like saying “lava is warm” I don’t even know what to do, just mourn and make more music I guess
