Classic Pop | Classic Pop Presents Prince: A Celebration
This year we’ve already lost a plethora of talent from across the world of entertainment. But surely the loss of the iconic Prince must rank among the most significant. The artist who brought us Purple Rain, When Doves Cry, Little Red Corvette and a wide variety of other golden moments in pop has passed into the ether. In our latest Classic Pop Presents, we look back at the life and career of Prince. From his early beginnings in Minneapolis to the rise to superstardom in the 80′s to his later position as a reclusive, religious figure in the 2000s

We’ve also collected the most emotive reactions to Prince’s passing, from the stars and cultural figures that were inspired by him – featuring high quality rare pictures from Prince at every stage in his career – in a variety of fabulous outfits
