“I can’t think of any musician I respect more than Prince. He’s one of the great instrumentalists and bandleaders. I was always inspired by the fact that he also struggled. And we all knew it. We don’t get artists like that very often. He really touched my life, and I was sure that one day I would see him play. I can’t believe he died so young. I’m so sad. I love that he lived through his last years.” Something new has become out of life. – the acclaimed indie musician said on Instagram.
