Prince is dead. The singer who´s music transcended not only generations but genres was found unresponsive yesterday, 21st of April, in Chanhassen, Minnesota, his home state. The news was covered all over the world, leaving his many fans to mourn this great loss of the music industry.
A man who was known for breaking the music industry with 80´s pop songs such as "Kiss" and "Purple Rain" and his creative genius, gathering seven Grammy Awards and 30 nominations for his life work.
This was definetely an unexpected piece of news, despite the reference made to the emergency landing of his plane in Illinois, due to the fact that the singer was not feeling well. His death came as a terrible shock to all of those who loved him and admired him as a talent artist. The grief is great but surely he will stand high in the hearts of his fans and followers.
The city of London seems to share the outpouring grief of the rest of the world. This all week had been quite warm and the sun was shining bright every morning, until last night, when the sky turned dark and it started to rain. The temperature dropped and the rain continues to lay down the streets today, and there is a strange silence going on, as if in respect for this man.
All we can hope is that in 2016 there are no more sudden deaths of great valuable artists, as Prince, Bowie or Alan Rickman.
Now that he is gone, his music shall live through us, his loyal fans.

My heart is broken since his death. He was my last musical hero and, right now, there's no one able to follow his path. We just have to keep waiting for something good to come up.
