From Annie Mac to Justin Timberlake the tributes have been pouring in after the news of Prince's death.
The 57-year-old died suddenly at his home in Minnesota.
He became a household name in the early 1980s, after releasing his album 1999.
He sold more than 100 million records during his career and has been a massive influence on other artists and performers.
Prince kicked off his UK tour two years ago in
Lianne La Havas' flat in Leyton, east London, with a press conference
and an acoustic set.
She said she was lucky to have known him.
In a post on Tumblr Frank Ocean wrote: "He was a straight black man who played his first televised set in bikini bottoms and knee high heeled boots, epic.
"He made me feel more comfortable with how I identify sexually simply by his display of freedom and irreverence for obviously archaic ideas like gender conformity, etc."
