The news that Prine is no longer with us is spreading quickly. Music stars like Bruce Springsteen (70, "Stones") or Sheryl Crow (58, "Picture") have already reached them. The two say goodbye to the two-time Grammy winner via Twitter.
Springsteen writes, Prine was "the most lovable guy in the world". "A real national treasure and a songwriter forever." His love and prayers are these days with the family of the deceased musician. Crow is equally affected. The death of Prine hurts her a lot. "He sings with the angels," are their words.
