Correcting myself: Guy Hamilton, not Williams. I'm reinstalling Windows ATM, and my brain is totally fried. No idea why my mind thought Williams. XD
First Bowie, and now Prince...two of my favourite artists. Thank you for this lovely tribute item!
Much love for this tribute! I wonder, is there a list of tribute items somewhere? I'm sure I've missed some over the years.
As always, this was absolutely perfect - from the text in the posting for it, to the name of the item, to the subtle sneaking in Chyna in the text.
We're loosing too many people too quickly to do an item for everyone - Guy Williams who did most of the really good early James Bond movies also died Thursday. It was mentioned by the Guardian newspaper that their obituary editor cannot create a webpage with all of the famous deaths that have occurred thus far in 2016 because of how many there have been - it's a mess, it's too long, and there's no way to properly attribute kind words to each person on the front face of such a page because we've literally lost just that many people so far this year. I think, overall, given how many people who have died, Subeta's done a smashing job with their tributes to the ones who have made a huge impact in a significant number of people's lives - they do kind of need to focus more on the ones who have the largest impact, given how much of an annus horribilis 2016 is being for famous individuals endings.

@Taarna - I'm with you (Purple Rain item)! And I'd LOVE to see a guitar item. His famous one from Purple Rain, the movie!
... Ugh
... Ugh
Another who was the soundtrack of my life and also for so many others, gone all to soon. Beautiful tribute for someone who was music personified. <3 and RIP.
Also to Chyna may you now rest peacefully.

What the hell is wrong with this year?! Seems to be a curse for all our legends! An now this is how it sounds "when doves cry"...Thank you guys, gorgeous tribute...I wish snd hope it IS the last tribute of the year...:(
I was so shocked when I heard about his dead. Thank you for the amazing tribute. RIP Prince ♥️
@kellie_cd_sub I'm old too and also remember them all, wrestling was my life in the 90's and early 2000's. Admittedly I haven't watched it much recently but HHH is still one of the hottest guys on the planet at nearly 50 imo, I even have a pet named after him snuggles Hearst
But Prince was like global...You'll be hard pressed to find someone who hasn't heard of him, He influenced a lot of people from a lot of walks of life so I understand it.
You have a great night too! ^_^

@Illyria i understand that. ~shrugs~ These wrestlers were big back in the 90s, so probably not well known to a lot of people on Subeta. i'm an old fart and remember them though. Have a great night.
@kellie_cd_sub Well realistically, Subeta can't make tributes for every single celebrity that dies.
There was a comment from Dannica over on the bragging and complains forum
Maybe subeta staff just doesn't have many wrestling fans. I love Chyna, Have done since the 90's but I was happy enough that she got an acknowledgement.

I mean if the staff don't even know who the people really are, would you want a half assed tribute that has no real meaning and feeling?There aren't any set guidelines, it really just depends. I did the tribute to Terry Pratchett because he and his books have been a major influence in my life - but most of the other staff members weren't familiar with his works. When you're not personally familiar with something and know it, it can be difficult to determine what would make a meaningful tribute, so that can certainly be a factor.

@Illyria i had forgotten the Alan Rickman book. Not much of a tribute, then again we also lost two other wrestlers this month, Balls Mahoney and Charlie Fulton.
I can't imagine this world without him. He's been in mine for a looong time, and always meant so much. <3
Thank you for the wonderful tribute.

I made it through the whole day without actually crying, and then I saw this. Beautiful - what I can see of it through the tears...
@kellie_cd_sub There was a tribute for Alan Rickman 
Also if you read the description of this item, There is a Chyna tribute tucked in there :)

@Taters Nope, no Alan Rickman item, and also nothing about the legendary Chyna passing away!
An electric word, life, it means forever and that's a mighty long time. Not nearly long enough for some, RIP Prince.
Ahaha that desc with the elevator, such greatness. Thanks for the tribute sub. Beautiful item :)
THAT DESCRIPTION <3 Beautiful. Beautiful item art, beautiful item name, beautiful hair, beautiful tribute.

Thank you for this tribute gift.
If there is one thing that I do appreciate about this site is the thoughtfulness the staff gives us when unfortunate times like this happen.

Dang, you know the year's bad when we have to start honoring people with 3-in-1 tribute items. Thank you, staff, for doing such a beautiful job wit this.
Thank you! I actually thought it was going to be a guitar but still very beautiful.
R.I.P. to Doris, Chyna & Prince

:'C Thank you for the great tribute to some of my favorites we've lost this week. The man whose music inspired me, and the woman who showed me that we girls can kick ass just like the "big boys". And sweet Doris, who felt like the second grandmother I've been missing in my life through her many roles.
been waiting for this, thanks for rolling it out so quickly. the wig is super pretty and the description is really sweet to boot.
may doris, chyna and prince rest in peace: they were and still are dearly beloved.

The tribute gifts have been so lovely recently with Bowie, Rickman, and now this. Thanks, SubetaTeam. ?
"Dearly beloved, we gather here to get through this thing called 'life'. Electric word, life. It means forever and that's a mighty long time,
but I'm here to tell you there's something else---The after world."
Prince is in the after world now.

I'm hoping Prince and Chyna are seeing the afterlife that Prince spoke of in his song, "Let's Go Crazy".
Wow. You guys are always so fast with these, love this so much even though it's such a bad day :(
I love this item, but kinda wish it was an actual guitar. RIP Beautiful Purple one. <3
Amazing wig, amazing references. Thank you for the subtle Chyna reference as well. :heart: A sad day for us all.
Noooooo.....!!!(-~-) Why-y-y.... Prince AND Doris, not cool at all. It's making me hate this past year and a half even more! First Leonard Nemoy, then Terry Pratchett, THEN Robin Williams a few months back... Now PRINCE DIES?!!! Minnesota's great rock legend fades like the rain... (;^;)
Rain began to fall all across the state and our hearts broke as news of another of the greats passing started to circulate.
</3
Thank you for this, it's beautiful and perfect in every way.

RIP. I heard about Prince from one of my customers earlier today.
That was shocking. What's with all these celebs passing away?! It's crazy.
They are all leaving 1 after another.

That was quick, kudos to the artist! Very pretty item and fitting wig. RIP Prince & Chyna & everybody else.
This year might turn into a new 27 club phenomeon. 2016 club. And we're not even halfway through the year.

I was waiting for this. Thank you. This one really broke my heart. Too many good people have died this year
Thank you for remembering Chyna in the item description! She was a true trailblazer for American womens wrestling who is only now receiving the recognition she truly deserved in life.
Puts tribute item in gallery
Also, what a nice way to sneak Chyna and Doris Roberts into the description.

I have so many good and fond memories of listening to him when I was a tiny tater tot. My ma adored his music, and so did the guy she was dating at the time, so that was the mainstay of cassettes during car rides and when the record player was on at home.
RIP. :'C
