Legendary singer and songwriter Prince has died. He was 57.
TMZ broke the news today (April 21), reporting a death at his Paisley Park estate in Minnesota. The site talked to multiple sources that said the deceased person was indeed Prince.
Prince’s publicist confirmed the news to the Associated Press.
“BREAKING: Publicist: Pop music superstar Prince has died at his home in suburban Minneapolis,” the news outlet wrote on Twitter.
The AP says that he was found dead in his home.
The singer was battling the flu and had to cancel two recent shows.
Prince stormed onto the music scene in the 1970s and dominated popular culture with his sensual and soulful style. He was the recipient of seven Grammy Awards and had multiple #1 albums, including Around the World in a Day, 3121 and Purple Rain, which Future paid tribute to with his Purple Reign mixtape.
The legend directly influenced the production outfit The Soulquarians, who worked with The Roots, Common, Erykah Badu and D’Angelo, among others.

No one is deleting your comments. That is the community getting your foolishness out of the paint. Do you see that little flag in the left hand corner? It’s three strikes and you’re out. We respect the freedom of speech but the people have made it clear they’re sick of the trolling. Especially when a legend’s passing is the topic on hand.
Damn, first Mike, now Prince. They were two sides of the same coin. Both are the greatest artists ever to me. Never will be another MJ or Prince. Rest in paradise.
Pac is one of the greatest, no doubt, but as far as overall entertainers and artists go, MJ and Prince are the greatest to me. Even Pac was a big Prince fan.
Trent Clark is my favorite writer!
