Music icon Prince sadly passed away on Thursday, April 21 at the age of 57 and celebrities and musicians alike have been paying tribute to him ever since. 

Pop sensation Lady Gaga shared a post on Instagram last night and explained that hearing Prince's music is nothing short of a fantastic gift:

"I tend to believe 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. 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."

The 'Born This Way' hitmaker added: "Thank you for sharing your life with us Prince. Giving up your anonymity because you felt compelled to share your gift. We learned so much. You just found God early, he needed you upstairs to innovate in heaven."
