Very sad breaking news this evening is that Prince, the artist, has died aged 57. He was a major influence on pop music since bursting on the scene almost 40 years ago. He died at his property, according to US celebrity website TMZ, at Paisley Park Studios early on Thursday morning. The reports have since been confirmed by Prices publicist.  The cause of death is being investigated. We would like to pay tribute to Prince by looking back at his performance in Pacha Dubai only last year.   

Prince last performed in Dubai in February 2015
