"As one of the most gifted and prolific musicians of our time, Prince did it all. Funk. R&B. Rock and roll. He was a virtuoso instrumentalist, a brilliant bandleader, and an electrifying performer," he continued.
Of course, Obama isn't the only one paying tribute to the late music legend. Several celebrities, including Beyonce, Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake, and Madonna, took to social media to express their condolences.
