It looks like he just showed up at your door to apologize for forgetting your birthday, and he's really not sure whether you're going to forgive him, and he's practicing his speech in his head so that he doesn't mess it up. ## Prince ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/prince10.jpg) I think that mustache was genuinely his one true love, his life partner. ## Prince ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/prince5.jpg) Has Miley Cyrus tried to copy this yet? Because if not, she totally will, right? ## Prince ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/prince22.jpg) Aw. I hope he got to laugh in the purple rain one last time. ## Prince ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/prince13.jpg) That outfit is the most delicious period piece. ## Prince ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/prince21.jpg) I assume this spawned a million memes. ## Prince ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/prince16.jpg) This photo makes me think of Janice Dickinson, and how she always complained on ANTM that nobody wants to see armpit. While I generally think that is true, it being here on Rolling Stone feels winkingly provocative in a way that totally works. ## Prince ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/prince17.jpg) He also never made insubstantial eye contact. Ever. Those orbs burn through you. ## Prince ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/prince14.jpg) Another great cover, because EW smartly didn't clutter it up with much text. Let his face do the talking. ## Prince ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/prince15.jpg) Then again, even with a cover that DOES clutter everything up with text, he still carries it. ## Prince ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/prince11.jpg) Of course Prince could levitate things. Maybe he's the one who taught Kate and William how to do it. ## Prince ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/prince12.jpg) This is always one of the first Prince looks that comes to mind when I picture him. Or rather, in the very very abridged slideshow of my mind, this is the first picture. ## Prince ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/prince18.jpg) Remember the unpronounceable Love Symbol? Prince was never anything less than utterly fascinating. ## Prince ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/prince19.jpeg) This photo is from 2015, I believe. WHAT HO, AGELESS ONE. ## Prince ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/prince1.jpg) Only Prince could perform in A GOLD SLEEP MASK. And only Prince could pull off a gold sleep mask. ## Prince ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/IMG_6214-e1423465770101-419x704.jpg) Prince attended the 2015 Grammys in this citrus dazzler (which you saw on the front page of the post already, but I like to give a full view where possible). ## Prince ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/inXecyT.jpg) NO BUT SERIOUSLY, UNIVERSE, THIS IS THE FACE I AM MAKING AT YOU RIGHT NOW. ## Prince ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/prince2.jpg) Whatever was going on with him in his life, he seemed to leave it all behind when he was on-stage. ## Prince ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/prince3.jpg) I think of this as his Torvill and Dean costume, and get great pleasure from imagining him and Jayne Torvill skating "Bolero" together. ## Prince ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/prince4.jpg) Is "zazzy" a word? It seems like, if it is, it applies to this outfit. ## Prince ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/prince6.jpg) He is the one true context for a feathered mono-shoulder. ## Prince ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/prince8.jpg) You lacy scamp. ## Prince ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/FFN_FFN_PRINCE_FILE_PHOTOS_4212016_52030102.jpg) Everyone Looks Hotter In Sunglasses: Prince Edition. ## Prince ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/FFN_FFN_PRINCE_FILE_PHOTOS_4212016_52030109.jpg) Peace back atcha, sir. You are Professor Plum in the Clue game of life. ## Prince ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/FFN_FFN_PRINCE_FILE_PHOTOS_4212016_52030119.jpg) You might also be Colonel Mustard. ## Prince ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/FFN_FFN_PRINCE_FILE_PHOTOS_4212016_52030548.jpg) AND Mrs. White. (Prince seemed like the sort of dude who wouldn't change the gendered label because such trifles didn't exist on his plane.) ## Prince ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/prince23.jpg) I think this is how we all felt when we heard the news. Indeed, you might want to revisit [that full post](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/princely-played-prince-at-the-french-open-06-2014/), which is rife with great facial expressions. ## Prince ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/prince20.jpg) No. Applause to YOU, Prince. I hope your third eye saw bliss waiting for you on the other side. ## Prince ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/prince7.jpg) And I hope this is how you're celebrating up there. [We'll Fugging Miss You, PrinceFirst, a note: I wish this could have been more comprehensive, but we're still having WiFi issues; I hope this eclectic assemblage of images captures Prince's range. It sounds like rumors are flying about what caused sweet Prince's final goodnight -- a lot of news on this front happened while we were sleeping -- but the why doesn't really matter. It's tragic and too soon by any stripe. Between him and Bowie, 2016 ripped away two people who boldly bent people's perceptions of both art and the artist, and expanded our palate for what music could feel and taste like, or the way it could fill you up and burst out your limbs. (I am not a person who dances, but it's nigh on impossible to sit still for a Prince song.) Oh, you sexy motherf\*cker, how can you just leave us standing alone in a world that's so cold? \[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="500"\] This side-eye was delicious. I AM SIDE-EYEING YOU THUSLY, UNIVERSE.\[/caption\] Prince was also a brilliant instrumentalist and showman. In his music (I can't speak to his personal beliefs) he was hugely sexual, fiercely political, and loudly spiritual, yet somehow never in a way that alienated people who prefer not to engage with any of those things. For all his considerable power on stage, he came across as gentle, almost frail, off of it. And he sure as hell knew his way around a turn of phrase. "Act your age, not your shoe size" in "Kiss" is a delicious burn. "I guess I should've known by the way you parked your car sideways that it wouldn't last," he observed memorably in "Little Red Corvette," which is just a superb character note about a person. "I'm not a human, I am a dove, I'm your conscious, I am love. All I really need is to know that you believe," he sang, and we did. "But life is just a party and parties weren't meant to last," he wrote in "1999," adding, "We could all die any day, oh // But before I let that happen, I'll dance my life away." Whatever claimed him, I hope it took him painlessly as he danced fearlessly, joyfully, toward it. And he memorably opened "Let's Go Crazy" thusly: "Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life." Now we have to forge on without him, but not really, never really, because he'll always and forever provide our soundtrack. Other Prince links from around the web: -- #Ham4Prince: The cast of Hamilton performed "Let's Go Crazy" at the end of Thursday night's show. -- Vulture did a feature called Prince In Performance From The 80s To Now. -- Rolling Stone has complied a LOT of content, including a secret song he wrote for Kenny Rogers (!!). -- Spin republished its 1991 cover story on Prince, circa "Diamonds and Pearls," which features this line: "There he is, dressed in red from neck to toe, a halter-type vest covering his surprisingly well-built upper body and skin-tight red pants over red shoes. He’s doing a handstand. Prince can walk on his hands." -- Spin ALSO did a look back at Prince's Super Bowl halftime show, a defense of his later work ("Prince Never Fell Off"), and an obituary of him that's well done: "Nevertheless, let the epitaph read as he would want: His name was Prince, and he was funky." -- Idolator revisited his nineteen Top 10 singles. -- Frank Ocean wrote a nice tribute on Tumblr. -- The New Yorker staff has been adding their own remembrances to this one big post, and Sarah Larson wrote a piece called "Dancing To Prince." Also, the cover this week will be of purple rain. -- Fug Nation has already started sharing its favorite Prince songs in the comments of yesterday's post.![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/static-gofugyourself-com/uploads/2016/04/prince9.xml)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/well-fugging-miss-you-prince/)
