Statement by the President on the Passing of Prince
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.
