When he was inducted into the rock hall of fame, Prince performed George Harrison's 'My Guitar Gently Weeps' with Harrison's son, Tom Petty and others. Prince had not heard of the song prior to being sent the score.

Some kid dies in a hotel and we get a few comments. This thread will go on and on and get more cringworthy.
Absolutely terrible.
But he did have a unique look about him.
