Bowie, George Martin and now Prince – music is suffering such significant losses.
Prince gave me some of the best live music I have ever witnessed.
He had a prodigious talent, as a musician, writer, guitarist and bandleader.
I was introduced to him early by Carole Childs, then my A&R at Geffen.
She said you have to check out this young kid, he plays and records everything himself and he’s very rude.
It was obvious that he was already totally in charge of his medium and I’ve been a fan ever since.
He will be badly missed.
