at the Forum in Inglewood, Calif. Prince was found
dead at his home on Thursday in Minneapolis,
according to his publicist. He was 57.

CHANHASSEN, Minn.
(AP) — Prince, one of the
most inventive and inÀu-
ential musicians of modern
times with hits including
“Little Red Corvette,” “Let’s
Go Crazy” and “When
Doves Cry,” was found dead
at his home on Thursday
in suburban Minneapolis,
according to his publicist.
He was 57.
His publicist, Yvette
Noel-Schure, told The
Associated Press that the
superstar “died at his home
this morning at Paisley
Park.” The local sheriff
said deputies found Prince
unresponsive in an elevator
late Thursday morning
after being summoned to
his home, but that ¿rst-re-
sponders couldn’t revive
him.
No details about what
may have caused his death
have been released. Prince
postponed a concert in
Atlanta on April 7, after
falling ill with the Àu, and
he apologized to fans during
a makeup concert last week.
President Barack Obama,
for whom Prince was a
White House guest last year,
said he and his wife “joined
millions of fans from around
the world” in mourning
Prince’s sudden death.
“Few
artists
have
inÀuenced the sound and
trajectory of popular music
more distinctly, or touched
quite so many people with
their talent,” Obama said in
a statement. “ ‘A strong spirit
transcends rules,’ Prince
once said — and nobody’s
spirit was stronger, bolder,
or more creative.”
The dazzlingly talented
and charismatic singer,
songwriter, arranger and
instrumentalist drew upon
musicians ranging from
James Brown to Jimi
Hendrix to the Beatles,
creating a gender- and
genre-defying blend of rock,
funk and soul.
He broke through in
the late 1970s with the hits
“Why You Wanna Treat Me
So Bad?” and “I Wanna Be
Your Lover,” and soared
over the following decade
with such albums as “1999”
and “Purple Rain.” The title
song from “1999,” his funky
and Àippant anthem about an
oncoming nuclear holocaust,
includes one of the most
quoted refrains of popular
culture: “Tonight I’m gonna
party like it’s 1999.”
The Minneapolis native,
born Prince Rogers Nelson,
stood just 5 feet, 2 inches
— yet he made a powerful
visual impact at the dawn
of MTV. Prince was a Little
Richard for the ‘80s, from
his wispy moustache and tall
pompadour to his colorful
and suggestive out¿ts, the
counterpart to the openly
erotic lyrics that made him
one of the most sexually
daring artists of the era.
But
his
greatest
legacy was as a musician,
summoning original and
compelling sounds at will,
whether playing guitar in a
Àamboyant style that drew
on Jimi Hendrix, switching
his vocals from a nasally
scream to an erotic falsetto,
or turning out album after
album of stunningly inno-
vative material. Among his
other notable releases: “Sign
O’ the Times,” ‘’Graf¿ti
Bridge” and “The Black
Album.”

BRIEFLY
Ribbons show
suSSort Ior oI¿cers
HERMISTON —
Showing support for police
of¿cers is as easy as picking
up a ribbon.
National Police Week
is less than a month away,
and Terry Cummings,
chaplain for the Hermiston
Police Department, is again
coordinating a show of
vehicle ribbons in support
of local police of¿cers.
“This is just a week
for the community to say,
‘Thank you, we appreciate
you’ to these men and
women who put their lives
on the line every day,”
Cummings said. “The idea
is for people to go around
town to some of these
businesses, pick up a ribbon
and put it on a vehicle to
show their support.”
The ribbons are free and
available at Ace Hardware,
Banner Bank, the Chamber
of Commerce of¿ce, city
hall, the police department
and Washington Trust Bank.
Last year, 1,300 ribbons
were distributed across
the west end of Umatilla
County, and Cummings
said he hopes to break
that record this year.
The ribbons come from
the “Concerns of Police
Survivors” — or C.O.P.S.
— organization.
The ribbons were
designed to tie around
a radio antenna, but
Cummings said the ribbons
can be displayed anywhere
on the vehicle — such as
around rear-view mirrors
or in a back window — to
show support.
National Police Week
traces its origins to 1962,
when President John F.
Kennedy established May
15 as Peace Of¿cer’s
Memorial Day. The week
in which May 15 falls —
beginning on a Sunday
— is then National Police
Week. Locally, a memorial
event is scheduled at Til
Taylor Park in Pendleton
that week.
