Welcome to World News Today on BBC Four and BBC world. | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
And we will have more on the news that the legendary | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
Her car is arriving at Westminster Castle. We will bring you more on | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
that in just a while. Welcome to viewers joining us on The | :00:42. | :01:16. | |
One Show, we are broadcasting live from Westminster Castle -- Windsor | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
Castle, the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh about to arrive, on this, | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
the Queen's 90th birthday. CHEERING . Huge cheers, the Prince of Wales, | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
Duchess of Cornwall, awaiting the arrival of the Queen. And she will | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
shortly be lacing a beacon to mark this milestone. Nicholas Witchel is | :01:41. | :01:48. | |
alongside me. The Queen is competing the mayor, the pageant master in | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
charge of the beacons up and down the country. Sensible headscarf, | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
sensible headgear, as ever on this blustery evening in Windsor. But we | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
will in a moment here at the National anthem played by the band | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
of the Coast Green -- of the Coldstream Guards. The Duke of | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
Edinburgh frequently says he is one of the most expert openers and | :02:15. | :02:23. | |
beacon lighters that there are. They are moving into position. And Bruno | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
Peek, the man who has put together the whole "And, and he was always on | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
hand for these pyrotechnic displays, whether it be fireworks, flames, | :02:35. | :02:46. | |
beacons, and that George. -- torch. That I presume they will be playing | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
the national anthem. The band will be disappointed, getting ready to | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
play the national anthem. They don't look as if they know quite where to | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
stand. But we have been fortunate it has been... | :03:04. | :03:22. | |
BAND PLAYS God Save The Queen. | :03:23. | :03:37. | |
We expect a short address from the Prince of Wales. | :03:38. | :03:56. | |
Your Majesty, Mummy... LAUGHTER I find it very hard to believe that | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
you have reached your 90th year and I suddenly realised the other day | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
that I've now in use since you were 22 years old. LAUGHTER | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
But this is, ladies and gentlemen, very special occasion and the beacon | :04:14. | :04:23. | |
that Her Majesty is about to like Bill also represent, as it lights | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
other beacons across the nation, the love and affection in which you are | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
held throughout this country and the Commonwealth. So, ladies and | :04:37. | :04:45. | |
gentlemen, can we wish Her Majesty the most special and the happiest of | :04:46. | :04:55. | |
birthdays on this occasion? And long may you reign over us. CHEERING | :04:56. | :05:06. | |
Now, ladies and gentlemen, can I ask you as well if you could raise three | :05:07. | :05:15. | |
very special cheers for Her Majesty, on this special occasion and, if | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
they are loud enough, it might just work to like the other beacons by | :05:23. | :05:34. | |
spontaneous combustion. So, hip, hip, hip... Hooray! | :05:35. | :06:23. | |
The Queen, at 90, lighting a series of more than 1000 beacons that will | :06:24. | :06:45. | |
be lit across the United Kingdom and across the world, the Queen now | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
Britain's longest serving monarch, so many people out on the streets to | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
see her today as she celebrated her 90th birthday. We will move on now | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
to major breaking news, the death of the legendary musician Prince at the | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
age of 57, his bodily -- his body discovered at his studios in Paisley | :07:08. | :07:19. | |
Park, Minnesota,. Prince, whose real name is Prince Rogers Nelson, we are | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
still getting details about the circumstances in which she was | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
fined, but obviously, I shoot story for the world of music. I am joined | :07:31. | :07:38. | |
by a reporter from BBC radio one. It has been such as shocked, this news | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
from the last I read or so. It has. Lots of words can be used to | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
describe Prince but he deserves the title of icon, a trailblazer, | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
wonder, oddity to many, the sound of the 1980s, to so many people, | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
setting the bar of creativity, and amazing live performer and this has | :08:03. | :08:09. | |
come out of the blue. And much more than a performer, writer, | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
instrumentalist, with the vision? He did, his first album was released in | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
1978, but he did not have much success until the album 1999 with | :08:19. | :08:28. | |
which he struck through then it was Purple Rain in 1984 that cemented | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
his status. Not just with the audio but the visuals to go with it. And | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
the whole vision of pop star really came to the surface because of | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
Purple Rain became a film, and amazing music video, he was an icon | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
there to be seen and heard. This is a perfect time to show viewers and | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
let them hear more of Purple Rain. A great song. Let's see if we can dip | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
into that now. # I never meant to | :08:58. | :09:17. | |
cause you any sorrow # I never meant | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
to cause you any pain # I only wanted one time | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
to see you laughing # I only want to see | :09:31. | :09:38. | |
you laughing in the purple rain And if people know anything about | :09:39. | :10:02. | |
Prince, people know Purple Rain, that he had such arranged. Yes, the | :10:03. | :10:16. | |
list goes on Kiss, Alphabet Street, among others. He sold 23 million | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
albums with Purple Rain and from that point on, she was a very small | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
pop star, but his stature in the world of music was just gigantic. -- | :10:27. | :10:35. | |
he was. He famously did 21 nights at the London O2 Arena, sold out, for | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
half a million people. How many musicians could do that nowadays? A | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
towering achievement! Is and what was so brilliant about Prince was | :10:48. | :10:56. | |
they keep -- she kept artistic credibility, he fell out with his | :10:57. | :11:04. | |
label, streaming services, wanting to stay in control of his prime. We | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
can talk about the identity of Prince, but now we can join your | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
correspondent in Los Angeles. Can you tell us what we do know about | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
what has been discovered and what has happened in Minnesota? Yes, | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
authorities say they have found, initially saying they have found | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
someone who was not responsive in his home, who later died in | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
hospital, later confirmed by the publicist of Prince that it was the | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
pop star dying at the age of 57, but we do not know precisely concerns | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
is, there will be an investigation into the cause of his death. We know | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
he had been unwell, one place you -- one aeroplane he was and had to make | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
an emergency landing, we believe you are suffering from flu, not in | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
hospital, released after just a few hours and went home, saw nothing | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
particularly sinister sounding, we are not aware whether he had any | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
more serious underlying medical conditions, so there will be an | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
investigation to find out the precise cause of death. In the | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
meantime, as you have discussed, people are shocked about what has | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
happened, as certain are disbelief that in the year we have lost David | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
Bowie, we have lost Prince, another superstar in terms of pop music and | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
an individual character, people comparing him with Michael Jackson | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
or David Bowie, Prince was a man to himself, a great humanist, very | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
funny, great musician, great guitar player, singer, producer, she had | :12:46. | :12:53. | |
everything. Peter, you are speaking from the entertainment capital of | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
the world, and the reactions, simply shot, what an original this man was. | :12:59. | :13:05. | |
Yes, and some of the well-known figures in Hollywood taken to social | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
media to express their feelings. I miss my brother, great sense of | :13:11. | :13:19. | |
humour, said the director Spike Lee. What a sad day said the talk-show | :13:20. | :13:27. | |
host Ellen Degeneres. Speechless said Samuel L Jackson. Rest in | :13:28. | :13:35. | |
peace. We will all cry purple tears today, legend, the words of Tito | :13:36. | :13:43. | |
Jackson, one of the brothers of Michael Jackson. Thank you. Steve, | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
coming back to you, one writer from Rolling Stones said Prince was sex! | :13:50. | :13:58. | |
He was such a live performer, he really came to the forefront doing | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
live shows. I have spoken to some people in Radio 1, and they have | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
said that seeing Prince was the best gig they have seen. Often, I | :14:10. | :14:18. | |
remember him from small shows, small locations in London, two big arenas, | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
he could do it all. But I love this identity thing. Going back to the | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
early 1990s, he fell out with his wreck of the, who said he was | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
trademarking his name. She was born with the new Prince, so he changed | :14:34. | :14:41. | |
his name to Symbol, and the one could say that. Through his career, | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
he kept such a tight lid on who he was. She said you cannot win me, I | :14:48. | :14:55. | |
am not a corporate figment, was one of the first to stand up and say | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
that. To stand up and say he would not be told what to do and even in | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
recent years, suing some fans at one gig because clubs were uploaded to | :15:08. | :15:15. | |
YouTube. -- because some clips. He felt that was compromising his | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
musical integrity. And it amounted to privacy of sorts. Very few | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
artists would do that. Thank you very much. We can bring more | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
reaction coming through to the death of Prince. As you can imagine, these | :15:31. | :15:32. | |
pouring in. We can take you I think back to Los | :15:33. | :15:59. | |
Angeles, to Peter, we are waiting for official statements, this | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
emerged from a celebrity website, didn't it? Yes, it came originally | :16:04. | :16:13. | |
from the celebrity website TMZ, which first reported the death of | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
Michael Jackson. It was a little while after they first broke the | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
story that we were able to confirm it, but then, it went viral around | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
the world and a lot of people, wherever they are in the world, | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
learning this from the Internet, from social media, fans talking | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
about it and disbelief is the word of the hour, people cannot | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
comprehend that we have lost someone of the stature of Prince. The | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
American recording Academy, the organisation which puts on the | :16:46. | :16:54. | |
Grammy Awards, Prince a major figure at the Grammys in recent years, have | :16:55. | :16:56. | |
released a statement, which has said they have lost an innovator, | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
condolences to his friends and family who have been impacted by his | :17:01. | :17:09. | |
incredible work. Peter, thank you. Talking about musical history, | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
Steve, coming back to you, what did he draw upon? He was very original, | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
but who were his icons? If you look at James Brown, very active on | :17:19. | :17:28. | |
stage. That sexual energy. And taking on from someone like Jimi | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
Hendrix. Prince was an incredible guitarist. Imagine taking those two | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
influences, the guitar playing and live singing together, and creating | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
this sexual chemistry. And you look at what he has left for other | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
people. You mentioned the tribute from Justin Timberlake, you can see | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
the influence of Prince in the way he sings and dances on stage. It | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
encapsulates the crowd, making them feel like you are the only person | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
watching that singer but performing to tens of thousands in the arena. | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
We can show you a little note from the song When Doves Cry. | :18:13. | :18:45. | |
The sweat of your body covers me | :18:46. | :18:54. | |
# Dream if you can a courtyard An ocean of violets in bloom | :18:55. | :19:13. | |
# Animals strike curious poses They feel the heat | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
# The heat between me and you We can show you a little note | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
When Doves Cry by Prince. And we can show you some images from TMZ, the | :19:20. | :19:50. | |
website which brought that news that Prince had died in Paisley Park, | :19:51. | :20:02. | |
Minnesota, and Steve, not just talking about the songs from Prince | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
for his own performance, this goes all the way to soundtracks and | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
movies. Yes, he did the Batman soundtrack in 1989. He famously did | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
the song for Sinead O'Connor released in the early 90s, giant of | :20:19. | :20:28. | |
a song. He did Manic Monday, 30 studio albums, four in the last 18 | :20:29. | :20:37. | |
months. He does not do as many of the older songs, they head that made | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
him, a lot of new material. Bucketloads! And just do -- and just | :20:43. | :20:54. | |
a few days ago, he was performing? Yes, there were rumours he had the | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
flu and needed hospital treatment and his play needed to make an | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
emergency landing but from what people at the gigs were saying they | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
could not see anything visibly that he was ill, he pirated on Phil -- | :21:07. | :21:15. | |
through, true icon. The amount of exercise, the fitness he would have | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
had to keep up for performing as Prince must have been incredible! | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
Not many pop stars nowadays could do that, not only the length of time on | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
stage she was famous for, the number of gigs they did in a year, that | :21:29. | :21:36. | |
He could so have sat on his laurels. He didn't need the money but he | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
wanted to keep going and keep innovating. It is very hard to get | :21:43. | :21:49. | |
an Prince song onto an advert or a soundtrack. He has very strong | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
control of where his songs are used. Would he have seen that as selling | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
out? Absolutely. He famously took his and Taia back catalogue of | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
spotted by because I don't know if he felt he was getting a bad deal | :22:05. | :22:12. | |
out of it, you are 1 of the most famous artists in the world, you | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
want people to hear your music, but you are is aimed them, I went out to | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
have my stuff. Just for those who are joining us, this news is sinking | :22:23. | :22:32. | |
in, can you sum up what he meant as an artist, a musician? I would say | :22:33. | :22:39. | |
in the 1980s, there were 3 artists which cut the mould. Michael | :22:40. | :22:48. | |
Jackson, Prince and Madonna in terms of visionaries. These are the people | :22:49. | :22:55. | |
who embraced the MTV era of music videos, realising that it is not | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
just about the voice, it is about the image, the way you look, the | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
visuals that go with the song you are producing. So, he was very | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
careful about what busy waltz, what images went with his songs, | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
protecting his intellectual property. Exactly and he would | :23:13. | :23:20. | |
disagree with someone who is that visionary -- who would disagree? It | :23:21. | :23:28. | |
took him about for our bums to really achieve the success that he | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
then got with 1999 in 1982, not to be confusing, and in the 80s is | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
where his music and he was meant it. He was the first in-depth tea of the | :23:41. | :23:47. | |
rock 'n' roll Hall of Fame because of his innovation. There is a famous | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
great that he rewrote the book because of the vision he had at the | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
time. Let's go back to Peter in L A. This has been sinking in. We haven't | :24:00. | :24:06. | |
heard anything official, but presumably it is all over the wires? | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
People are talking about what it you Mac meant to them and what his music | :24:12. | :24:12. | |
has meant. Yes, it is all over the Internet, | :24:13. | :24:22. | |
social media, people reflecting on what Prince meant to them. And he | :24:23. | :24:30. | |
has a great legacy, he let to -- led to stardom in the 1970s, dominated | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
the 1980s and 1990s and as we have here performing until recently. | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
People unaware there were any major health problems and for that reason | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
people are terribly shocked and a certain amount of disbelief that | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
this has happened. I have more from this statement from the American | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
music Academy, the organisation that puts on the Grammys, today we | :24:54. | :25:00. | |
remember and celebrate him as one of the most uniquely gifted artist of | :25:01. | :25:07. | |
all time, never one to conform, he redefined and forever changed our | :25:08. | :25:15. | |
musical landscape, Prince was -- Prince influenced everyone. Wheater | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
in Los Angeles, thank you. And Steve from Radio 1. We will give you the | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
opportunity to watch some more of that iconic it Purple Rain. | :25:27. | :25:31. |
