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. Read more: https://www.tmz.com/#ixzz46TwcT7O2

I'm about to blast Pussy Control on repeat and if my co-workers don't like it, then they can GTFO.

Poster on the Movie/TV board claims

Blind Gossip had a blind the other day that he had AIDS and up until a couple of years ago had been taking his meds regularly and was doing fine.

Someone with the Jehovah's Witnesses org (he became one a while back) told him God had cured him and he stopped taking his meds and has been going downhill ever since.

Sad.

A true music icon. He and Bowie both make this a bad year for music.

Never a fan. Still, sorry to see the man die this early in life. He was in concert in Atlanta 2 weeks ago and all seemed well according to the reviews.

The flu is still circulating strongly in some areas. If Prince did contract it, that may very well be the cause of his death.

At 57 and with a history of drug use, his body likely was unable to withstand an influenza infection. It's a horrible way to die.

Will his death and funeral get as much attention as MJ?

Meh.

While it's sad on a human level that a person died at a relatively young age, and I feel for his family and friends, I'll never understand the reverence for him as an artist. Not my bag I suppose.

If I'm not mistaken, one of his proteges Vanity just recently died as well?
