But his influence extended far beyond his music. Prince redefined public notions aboutblack masculinity and frequently challenged ideas about gender and sexuality with his appearance.In a year fraught with police brutality, political mayhem, the Zika virus, bombings and much more chaos, the loss of an individual as vivacious and tremendous as Prince wasnt just upsetting. It was crushing.Fans who loved and continue to love the artist celebrated him Friday on the anniversary of his death:If you ever wondered why we sing in church. This is why. This is church. #RIPPrince #PRINCE https://t.co/eN5BqW6G1Q Paul Baudhuin (@BelgianFriar) April 21, 2017 Prince Rogers Nelson June 7th 1958- April 21st 2016 #RIPPrince.
