AceShowbiz - Will Smith was among those who took to social media to remember Prince after news broke that the legendary musician passed away on Thursday, April 21. The "Concussion" star posted a heartfelt message on Facebook in which he revealed that he actually had a conversation with the late singer one day before he was found dead in his Chanhassen, Minnesota, studio.
"I am stunned and heartbroken. I just spoke with him last night," Smith wrote. "Today, [my wife] Jada & I mourn with all of you the loss of a beautiful poet, a true inspiration, and one of the most magnificent artists to ever grace this earth." Will also uploaded a photo of the "Little Red Corvette" hitmaker playing a guitar.
Will's wife Jada Pinkett Smith also mourned the death of Prince on Facebook. "Prince was one of the first artists to put me on game in regard to the industry. He was not only a genius artist, he was kind, funny, beautifully eccentric, curious, imaginative, magical, spiritual, rebellious and extremely intelligent," she wrote.
"He showed me early the power of living one's life by one's own rules and no one else's. There are really no words to express what we have all lost today. To quote my friend Paress, 'Music has lost its heart beat.' Rest in peace Beauty... Jada," she continued.
The legendary pop star was 57 years old when he was found unresponsive in the elevator of his studio. "First responders attempted to provide lifesaving CPR, but were unable to revive the victim," a police said. The cause of his death is still under investigation.
