#RIPPRINCE

We lost one of the most genius musician of our time yesterday at the age of 57. Prince is known for his songs and the ability to play a wide range of instruments gracefully. Prince's music transcended genres and generations. He defined the sound of the 80's and defied the music industry in a fight for creative freedom. As stunned fans mourned legendary singer Prince, questions still remain on what killed him days after he performed last week in Atlanta. Thursday after he was found unresponsive in an elevator at his studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota, paramedics tried reviving him but was unable to. An autopsy is scheduled for Today where many believe that he had suffered from a drug overdose mixed with the flu that he already had. What can be drawn from the many true/false reports of the singer is framing which is what we discussed in class where some reporters and critics are trying to paint a false portrait on this musical genius. Instead of finding the negative, we should point out the positives and look at the ways he contributed to music.
