HeartbreakerWoman Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 The artist known as Prince has died ... TMZ has learned. He was 57. Prince's body was discovered at his Paisley Park compound in Minnesota early Thursday morning. Multiple sources connected to the singer confirmed he had passed. The singer -- full name Prince Rogers Nelson -- had a medical emergency on April 15th that forced his private jet to make an emergency landing in Illinois. But he appeared at a concert the next day to assure his fans he was okay. His people told TMZ he was battling the flu. 42116-sub-prince-instagramPrior to his most recent appearance however, Prince had cancelled two shows due to health concerns. Prince became an international superstar in 1982 after his breakthrough album "1999." He went on to churn out a ton of hits -- and racking up 7 Grammys in the process. He also performed at the Super Bowl in 2007 ... in one of the greatest live performances of all time. He also sold more than 100 million records during his career ... and the Academy Award for Best Original Song Score for Purple Rain in 1985. Prince was married two times -- the first time to his backup dancer Mayte Garcia. They split in 2000. He then married Manuela Testolini ... but they split in 2006.

Patience 4 Axl Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) Shocking and sad! Never got to see him in concert unfortunately. But such a talented performer and artist, he will be missed. I still listen to Purple Rain all the time, one of my favorite albums. This sucks. Too many deaths lately...

madison Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Terrible terrible news. We've lost so many great ones over the past year - Scott, Lemmie, Bowie and now Prince. Just awful. And since he only had flu-like symptoms, it's really strange and must make everyone think of their own mortality. We just never know what's around that next corner. Such tragic deaths show us that life is truly short and can end at any time - without warning - and we need to live life to the fullest each day. It also makes us appreciate those who are still with us - GNR - and the great gift of music they continue to give us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
