Lady Gaga Pays Tribute to Prince on Instagram: God 'Needed You Upstairs to Innovate in Heaven'
Prince died at age 57 on Thursday in his Paisley Park estate
Paying tribute to the late musician, who died at his Paisley Park estate in Minnesota on Thursday, Gaga, 30, wrote on Instagram that she feels “that when we die our souls hover for at least a moment if not longer before they either rest or are recycled into the consciousness of an already living being or maybe a newborn baby.”
She continued, “Isn’t it amazing Prince shared his soul with us so deeply before his death, and now after we will be replenished endlessly by both his legacy and all that he still has to give from the beyond.”

In addition, Gaga wrote on Twitter, “Gonna miss u man, thank u 4 all u gave to music and the world,” before posting lyrics from Prince’s song “Sign O’ The Times.”
