Prince, a prolific rock star known for his mysterious brand of funk rock, died Thursday morning at his Paisley Park estate in Chanhassen, Minnesota, TMZ has confirmed. He was 57.

The sheriff's office responded to emergency calls at 9:43 a.m., and confirmed someone has died on the grounds.

The singer was rushed to the hospital earlier this month after his jet was forced to make an emergency landing due to a severe bout of the flu, but appeared to be on the mend.

Wow! Would never have expected that. Will be interesting to hear what the cause of death was and if the flu was a factor, just another reminder that it's not something to be taken lightly.

RIP

This just came across my news feed. I am so sad to learn. He was an artist that was mysterious, but one awesome performer.

 

[Lily Sawyer]

What??!??
Oh, how sad.
He had so much more to write and record and perform!

And an underrated guitarist.

RIP. No doubt on his guitar skills, he was amazing.

I can't believe this!! I loved his music so much.
R.I.P.
This is one bad year...

 

[Dana Jean]

KRF is going to be so sad! OH NO! RIP. Kingricefan showed that clip that made me realize he was more of a guitar player than I had ever realized. I am so sorry.

 

[César Hernández-Meraz]

Another departure?!

And Prince was still younger than the others...

What's up with this year?

 

[RichardX]

A tough year for the music world. I wasn't a huge fan but did appreciate the fact that he wrote his own songs. He was certainly an icon from the 80s.

 

[Kurben]

Oh, No! Far too early. RIP Prince!

 

[Jamie]

Rest in Peace sir, your talent was unrivalled

I am shocked. Was just listening to When Doves Cry on the way to work this morning and thinking of that awesome clip KRF posted of Prince playing As My Guitar Gently Weeps and George Harrison's son's reaction.
I am so sad.

RIP Prince Rogers Nelson, you are already missed.

I can vividly remember listening to Dirty Mind at a party back in 1980 when it had just come out. Some people got it and some just did not. I definitely got it and I knew it was something special. That was an important moment in music for me.
