How Local Celebrities Reacted To Pop Star Prince’s Death

Prince, the songwriter, singer, producer, one-man studio band and consummate showman, died on Thursday at his home, Paisley Park, in Chanhassen, Minn. He died at the age of 57. In a statement, President Obama said, “Few artists have influenced the sound and trajectory of popular music more distinctly, or touched quite so many people with their talent.” The following are messages from our celebville who were as shocked as everyone else.
