i didn't dress like anybody, i didn't look like anybody, i didn't sound like anybody, prince once said. why do what everybody else is doing? with his grinch-like grin, prince seduced his audience and flirted with controversy. an audacious persona, daring anyone to define him. his musicianship was astounding, a self taught virtuoso on guitar, keyboards, and drums. he played all 27 instruments on his debut album. after honing his sound at minneapolis' first avenue nightclub, prince broke through in 1979 with "i want to be your lover." >> prince! ♪ i want to be your lover >> four years later he became one of the first black artists to get regular play on mtv.

i remember dragging my wife out at 3:00 a.m., couldn't pull my best friend out, he was going to stay. when he finally got home at 6:00 a.m., after prince played they served pancakes. >> everyone there would say it was certainly worth it. what can you tell us about health issues he may have had? he told a crowd last week, wait a few days before you waste any prayers. what are you hearing about any health issues? >> that's the thing, there is so much speculation as to what really happened to prince. i don't know what exactly led to his death, but i do know that he had health issues. he had hip replacement surgery in 2010 and people close to prince tell me he struggled with painkillers due to his hip and ankle issues. he recently cancelled a couple of shows, and for him to miss a performance, something was drastically wrong, and we will learn more when the autopsy results come out. but the hip and ankle issues were a problem for him for so

long, and for a man who loved to move and dance so much, it really bothered him. >> kevin, what did you think when you first heard the news yesterday? >> i was devastated. honestly, gayle, at first i didn't think it was true. someting happened to someone at paisley park, but i didn't believe it was him. he almost seemed invincible and you know, the first prince party i attended, you were there and i remember just being in awe of the man, but then when you were around him and sat down and had dinner and talked to him, he just wanted to talk about what was going on in the world, so he would sit down with professors, politicians, all kinds of people to understand what was going on, and that was the man he really was and he cared deeply about his community. >> what's interesting is the way we define ourselves so it hurts so much more when artists die. because they have helped us understand the world we live in and who we are, but the music stays and the art stays, and

that's why it's so important to take note of someone who defines us. >> so true. >> kevin frazier, thank you so much. i know "entertainment tonight" will bring full coverage this evening on the death of prince, so check your local listings. coming up, stevie wonder will be with us as we celebrate prince's life and career here on "cbs this morning." donald trump's top strategist is saying they'll see a different candidate. donald trump is ready to reach out to a wider range of voters, rejected convention rule changes that could have improved other candidates' chances. major garrett is in hollywood, florida, where the rnc spring meeting continues today. major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. donald trump did not come here to butter up the delegates. ted cruz and john kasich did and delegates we spoke to were divided on trump's access. others said trump has an

obligation to be on the campaign trail, win primaries. regardless, trump is the number one topic for delegates more than mildly anxious about what the next two months will bring. >> cruz and kasich have no path to victory. it's over. it's over. >> despite calls to begin adopting a softer tone, donald trump remained disdainful of cruz and kasich thursday. trump's convention manager told republican national committee members that up until now trump has been projecting an image, but the part that he's been playing is now evolving and soon they'll see a real different guy. cruz quickly seized on the comments. >> he's telling us he's lying to us. that you look at what his campaign manager says, it is that this is just an act. this is just a show. >> but in pennsylvania, trump said he isn't ready to change just yet. >> we have to be tough for a little while and at some point

i'm going to be so presidential that you people will be so bored. >> we're going to get closer next tuesday. >> manfred's intention. >> there's something that you're going to try to communicate tonight to soften that sense of either skepticism or in a couple of cases hostility? >> well, we're talking to them, explaining what donald trump's position is. what he's talking about is creating transparency between elections and how delegates are selected. >> members of the rnc rules committee took no action on proposed changes, cautious not to inflame an already intense situation. >> we have unpredictable candidates in the race and nobody knows what's going to happen. >> there is an undercurrent of tension here. delegates we talked to are very nervous about the possibility of violence at the july convention, either on the convention floor or around the arena itself and there's also talk about death threats to delegates who publicly back either cruz or trump, and for that reason some

state party chairman urge delegates to remain neutral to avoid scrutiny and quite possibly something worse. >> thank you, major. president obama is in england this morning. queen elizabeth and prince philip welcomed the president and first lady. margaret brennan is in london. margaret, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, the official reason for this visit by the president and first lady is lunch with the queen to celebrate her 90th birthday, but the timing is very controversial. the president is helping prime minister david cameron win a tough upcoming vote. he's trying to convince britains to stay members of the e.u., the 28-nation club that binds european countries together. in an op-ed today the president wrote, "as your friend, let me say that the e.u. makes britain even greater." but skeptics are accusing mr. obama of being a bully, writing, "the u.s. guards its democracy with more hysterical jealousy

than any other country on earth. it's a breathtaking example of the principle do as i say but not as i do." the president is going to hold a press conference later today to emphasize the special relationship and the obamas will end the day having dinner with the duke and dutchess of cambridge, better known as will and kate. charlie? >> margaret, i will see you in germany on monday. i'll interview the president there in hannover. you can see it here on tuesday on "cbs this morning." the entire conversation will be on my pbs program on tuesday night. >> something to look forward to next week. forecasters say in houston will finally get a break from the rain this weekend. more thunderstorms hit areas already under water after a week of heavy raining. the flooding is blamed for eight deaths in the houston area, all were drivers trapped in their cars by the rising water. officials are releasing water from two reservoirs to release
