In the wake of the death of the rock icon, Prince, citizens across the nation cannot help but look back upon the impact other, similarly famous deceased celebrities had on their lives.
“Its truly sad to see another legend go. Prince was such a tremendous figure in American culture. It really makes you miss simpler days when you were young and you would just sit around with your friends and talk about how Kurt Cobain had just died,” Mourner James Grell told sources.
“I never even considered that we would lose Prince at such a young age. It really makes you look back and remember the days when the world was a more innocent place, like when Michael Jackson or Whitney Houston died,” said one melancholy fan.
The impact of losing somebody as influential as Prince has also devastated the sports world, as many professional athletes have taken to Twitter to show their sentimental side today, remembering the loss of many sports figures, such as Jackie Robinson and Yogi Berra, that Prince’s death made them remember.
Fans of Prince’s music have come together to wish the families of Prince, Robin Williams, David Bowie, John F. Kennedy, John Lennon, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Alan Rickman, Billie Mays, etc. their best during this difficult time.
