Prince Rogers Nelson Deceased
“Well, it came as somewhat of a shock to me. I knew he was unwell in recent weeks but I didn’t know it was unto death. While, I can’t call myself a Prince ‘fanatic’ his music had a tremendous impact on my consciousness as a young boy growing up in Toronto and Mississauga. As a child of the 1980s, his music was immense at the time and was a significant part of the soundtrack of my life. The world has lost a truly global musical icon.”
Dennis Brooks, Announcer, Host and Web Administrator at Nationwide News Network (NNN) reacts to the passing of Musical icon Prince.
