Prince is a legendary genius whose contributions to society will be greatly missed.

His Purple Rain concert was the first show I attended.

My dad took me because I was with him for the weekend.

I was about four years old. I was 21 the last time I attended one of his concerts in Columbia, SC, USA.

The lace, the purple, the stilettos, the mole, the dance moves, the incredible music.

I saw Prince on the first night of his 21-nights residency in London at the O2, on 21 August 2007.

It was an amazing gig, especially the double encore.

It was absolutely the best gig I’ve ever seen. Thank you for the music Prince.

Another great, gone too soon.

Ross Early, Vancouver, Canada

I’m saddened by the passing of Prince, a great musician and entertainer.

I was fortunate to see him in concert on 16 December, 2011 in Vancouver and didn’t stop dancing the whole time he and his band were on.

It might have been wintry and cold outside but that guy made the arena hot inside.

I am so glad I got to see him live.

He was a genius. RIP Prince.
