Played a piano like Rubinstein and had pretty much mastered the guitar as well.

His song writing and style were years ahead of the pack as well. Nearly 30 years on and the Sign of the Times album still sounds fresh - and why wouldn't it when everyone since has been trying to emulate it.

Much like Bowie, Prince was a once in a life time musician / artist who will be talked about and studied for a very long time.

Sad day indeed.
