    On Thursday 21 April, the world lost one of it's greatest musicans, Prince. Eric C shared this on his facebook page, "I'm so sad about the death of Prince, he was a true genius, and a huge inspiration for me, in a very real way....In the the eighties, I was out on the road in a massive downward spiral with drink and drugs, I saw Purple Rain in a cinema in Canada, I had no idea who he was, it was like a bolt of lightning!...In the middle of my depression, and the dreadful state of the music culture at that time it gave me hope, he was like a light in the darkness...I went back to my hotel, and surrounded by empty beer cans, wrote Holy Mother....I can't believe he's gone...."
