Lady Gaga’s incredible tribute to Prince might just make you BAWL

Since Prince's untimely passing on Thursday, we have heard from countless Hollywood heavy-hitters on the impact the Purple Rain singer had on them and their careers, but none of have pulled on our heartstrings as much as Lady Gaga's.

Taking to Instagram yesterday, the Til It Happens to You singer honoured the pint-sized pop sensation with a touching tribute which has us contemplating EVERYTHING this morning.

"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," she wrote. 

"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."

"Thank you for sharing your life with us Prince," she continued. "Giving up your anonymity because you felt compelled to share your gift. We learned so much."

The 30-year-old Grammy Award-winner finished the post which was accompanied by an iconic shot fo the Raspberry Beret singer by writing:" You just found God early, he needed you upstairs to innovate in heaven."

Unsurprisingly, the post has proved hugely popular, clocking up almost a quarter of a million likes since its upload this weekend.
