TMZ is down at the moment, but yahoo reports he has died.
http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/21/entertainment/prince-estate-death/index.html
I wonder if it is related to health issues he had a couple of days ago when he had to land in the middle of nowhere to go to a hospital....

CNN says police are investigating a death at Prince's estate.
No word yet on whether he is the one who expired. |

| Quote: | 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. |

Hopefully not true. Incredibly, incredibly, influential musical genius.

First Chyna, now Prince. Beware entertainers with one name. Sad to hear, I never saw him live but loved his music.

Yep.

Chanhassen, Minn. (AP) -- Pop music superstar Prince has been found dead at his home in suburban Minneapolis.
His publicist, Yvette Noel-Schure, told The Associated Press the music icon was found dead at his home Thursday in Chanhassen. |

This one's an MF'er.
I'm still in disbelief. I honestly don't know what the F to say.
This guy was truly an all-time great. ATG musician, singer, songwriter and performer.
This year, man. So many. Who fills this enormous musical chasm?
