American Singer, Prince Dies At 57 At Paisley Park - BBC by anonymous6(f): 6:39pm On Apr 21, 2016
The hugely popular and acclaimed musician Prince has died at his home in Minnesota at the age of 57, his publicist has said.

Police were called to a medical emergency at his Paisley Park estate earlier on Thursday, US media reported. An investigation is underway.
Prince became a global superstar in the 1980s, with albums such as 1999, Purple Rain and Sign O' the Times.
He sold more than 100 million records during his career.
A singer, songwriter, arranger and multi instrumentalist, Prince recorded more than 30 albums. His best known hits include Let's Go Crazy and When Doves Cry.
In 2004, Prince was inducted into the Rock and Roll of Fame.
Last week he was rushed to hospital hours after performing on stage, but was soon released.

Last week Friday, he was rushed to hospital after making an emergency landing.

They called it a 'flu' and that he would be just fine.

There hasn't been any recent photos of him for most of this year and last year, so it was a bit confusing. Something has been going on. May God rest his talented soul

I thought it was a joke to but once BBC confirmed it, I was shocked. He died to young and there have been rumors that he was planning to do a big world tour soon

RIP Prince. One of the best musicians that ever lived. Up there with James Brown, Michael Jackson, Barry White and Teddy Pendagrast. Wao, what a great shock. He just had a show in Moline, Illinois few days ago. Once again, adieu to one of the greatest musicians of all time.

Never cared for his music but RIP nonetheless. Michael Jackson's death shocked and left a gaping hole in my heart for a full week. I thought MJ would live to see 65 but the cold hands of death needed him more.

True its a fact of life, how someone is prepared for it is based on the individual themselves and how they lived their life but Prince was still young, he was not in his 70's or anything. Any way who knows what he was going through. Micheal Jackson died in his early 50's as well and it wasn't really his time yet either
