Music fans all over the world are still mourning the sudden passing of pop legend Prince on Thursday (Friday in Manila), as dozens of people flocked outside his home in Paisley Park, Minnesota, to pay their respects.

Despite the rainy weather, devoted fans dropped off flowers, posters with heartfelt messages and other Prince memorabilia outside his estate, while visibly consoling one another.
But once the light drizzle fizzled out, everyone was treated with a comforting sight—a huge rainbow emerging from the skies.
Louisiana based TV station WRBZ, meanwhile, posted a photo of the violet skies in Baton Rougue right after the rainfall—perhaps a fitting tribute to the fallen singer.

Supporters of Prince Rogers Nelson, who simply goes by Prince, shared some of their most memorable stories of the late entertainer via the Guardian.
One of the mourners from the nearby town of Chaska, Kristin Doolittle, recalled her first time hearing the hit song ‘Purple Rain’ when she was 13 years old, calling it a “magical moment”.
“I took a dance class and I did a tap routine to Delirious,” Doolittle said. “There isn’t an equal counterpart to Prince in music history”, she added, recalling a concert she attended about 10 years ago.
While Kayla Fischer, 29, stopped by Paisley Park on Thursday (Friday, Manila time) with her daughter, Lovly who is a Prince fan herself.
“It’s just like everyone’s been saying, it’s weird,” she said, adding that it “felt like I lost a family member”.
Others who couldn’t make it to the deceased singer’s home gathered outside a downtown Minneapolis nightclub in First Avenue instead—where much of the movie “Purple Rain” was filmed. Khristian Ibarrola, INQUIRER.net
