President Barack Obama has added his voice to the millions of voices around the world
mourning the sudden death of iconic singer, Prince.
In a statement released a few hours after news of the late singer’s death broke, Obama
described him as one of the most gifted and prolific musicians of our time.
“Today, the world lost a creative icon. Michelle and I join millions of fans from around the
world in mourning the sudden death of Prince. Few artists have influenced the sound and
trajectory of popular music more distinctly, or touched quite so many people with their talent.”
“As one of the most gifted and prolific musicians of our time, Prince did it all. Funk. R&B. Rock and roll. He was a virtuoso instrumentalist, a brilliant bandleader, and an electrifying performer.
‘A strong spirit transcends rules,’ Prince once said—and nobody’s spirit was stronger,
bolder, or more creative. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, his band, and
all who loved him.”
