57 and dead because of the flu? Not trying to be a dick but did he have cancer, AIDS, hep c or some other chronic condition? Healthy 57 year olds should not die from the flu.

I'm gonna go with undiagnosed pneumonia at the ER, and I feel bad for the dude who missed the diagnosis, because a world of hurt is about to rain down on anyone involved in his brief stay and rapid discharge. Probably so, especially if he was worsening after 2 weeks of influenza. Sad all the way around.

Like the guy's music or not, 57 is too young.
He was a superstar and gave any artist a run for their money in his live shows. Great performer. |

Purple Rain was one of the first two albums I ever bought as a kid (Van Halen 1984 being the other). |

Pneumonia is the big one, and at 57 with over exertion and little rest, it could absolutely kill. |

I'm actually kinda bummed about this. He was definitely his own person and was a great musician. He wasn't a fluke, he was the real deal. I also don't recall him ever being negative to anyone. Seemed to treat everyone well. Not a shitbag. Was he kinda weird? Yeah, but he was harmless. Insanely talented. Yep, this |

They decided to keep him in the hospital for another day. He died that Sunday in the hospital. He was 54. Never knew him to take a sick day in the three years he works for me. RIP Dennis. |

That is a shame.
I was showing my wife some of his stuff about a week ago and noted that his stuff is so hard to find on the internet that whole generations of people are grown now and never knew just how talented he was. Hopefully his estate will just release his stuff on youtube and let today's music fans see his talent. |
