Music Icon Prince Dead at 57 Years Old
Prince Rogers Nelson, also known as Prince, has been found dead in his recording studio, his publicist has confirmed.
Chief Deputy Jason Kamerud has refused to comment on the identity of who was found deceased at the estate, but his publicist confirmed the news to the Associated Press shortly after 1 p.m.

According to the report, his body was found at his home in Paisley Park, Minnesota, at 9:43 a.m. on Thursday morning. He had recently cancelled two concert appearances over health issues.

Following concerts in Georgia, on April 15, the artist’s private jet was forced to make an emergency landing in Illinois over medical issues, but he performed a concert the next day and assured the crowd that he was all right. At the time, his representatives attributed the landing to the flu.

Prince was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota on June 7, 1958, and has been an icon in the entertainment industry for over three decades. The pop star is one of the best-selling artists of all time, having sold over 100 million records globally.
