The death of Prince has, naturally, sparked an outpouring of emotion across every corner of the world, with fans—who sadly couldn’t be among those gathering outside the late singer’s Minnesota home or the First Ave. club he made famous in Purple Rain—taking solace in finding each other online. The endless cascade of social media tributes has included not only Prince’s fellow musicians, but politicians, actors, and countless other notables from every walk of life. But not, strangely enough, Malcolm In The Middle star Frankie Muniz.
Muniz’s silence has remained deafening since yesterday afternoon, when tweets honoring Prince’s life and music began appearing on the accounts of other, more thoughtful celebrities. While it’s unclear what reason Muniz might have for not saying anything about the icon’s passing, at least the likes of Chris Rock, Justin Timberlake, Elijah Wood, and Ellen DeGeneres—all of whom, to be blunt, have a lot more going on than Frankie Muniz these days—were there to pick up the slack
