9. He Played All the Instruments
Those who were able to see Prince play live with his band may have been lucky enough to witness Prince go around the stage and play literally every instrument. That was not a gimmick. Prince, per Rolling Stone, played “nearly all of the instruments” used in the recordings of his first five albums.

The only reason Prince needed a band was that we were unable to perfect the art of cloning before Prince’s passing. You let us down, scientists.
