    Prince has died at age 57

    The musician known to the world as Prince has died, according to multiple sources. Prince's body was discovered this morning in his Paisley Park home. He was 57 years old.
    One of the most influential musicians in pop, Prince produced 39 studio albums over the span of his decades-long career, selling more than 100 million copies and influencing countless genres. He enjoyed a recent revival with his Art Official Age album in 2014, and was at work on a memoir, tentatively titled Beautiful Ones.


    This past Friday, Prince's private plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Illinois, reportedly because Prince had the flu. The following Saturday he invited fans to his home in Minnesota for a dance party, during which Prince showed off his new purple piano. ""Wait a few days before you waste any prayers," he said, according to the Star Tribune.

    I was pretty shocked to hear this news, I always kind of figured that Prince was immortal. Very few people have something that changes the landscape of their art, and Prince was one of them. Just like David Bowie before him.

    I've been funking out to Prince tracks all day...

    Re: Prince has died at age 57

    Three days I will remember for my entire life where I was when I found out the news: A: Sept 11 2001, B: Michael Jackson's Death, C: Prince's death. Oh yeah, and this guy called Paul Walker..

    I wouldn't ever really call myself a huge fan of either MJ or Prince, but something about being an 80s-90s child must have to do with these being big deals. I'm also from Minnesota so there's that as well. Shitty day

    I was shocked about it too. My son, who is only 15, texted me about it from school. I was like, "You don't even know Prince, why would you care?! I WAS THE ONE GETTING LAID TO PURPLE RAIN, not you."

    Yea... sad

    He's not dead, he's just now known as "The Artist Formerly Known As Alive."

    And Chyna is getting buried in a coffin with a glass top. It'll be known as the Chyna Cabinet.

    They are doing the autopsies today on Prince. I am curious because all that seemed wrong was he had the flu.

    Re: Prince has died at age 57

    He never had the flu. The emergency landing in Moline, for the hospital was for a drug overdose (prescription opiate...probably Oxy...). Checked himself out against their wishes after 3 hours. But that episode was like 6 days before his death, so that particular overdose wouldn't have been the actual cause of death, per se. I'm guessing it was a second overdose that was complicated by the body still recovering from the first one. These prescription drugs are a big problem. My mom died from an overdose (on purpose) of Xanax, a few years ago. My dad was addicted to Oxy/Percocet for over 20 years. He would take between 15 and 20 pills a day, and they finally killed him a couple months ago.

    As for Prince, I was a fan. Sad to see him gone. Most people didn't realize what a true master he was with a guitar. Right up there with Hendrix and SRV....All the greats seem to get taken from us too soon.

    I've seen lives ruined by Oxy. One my best friend was a ambitious smart guy then he got in a motorcycle accident and was prescribed Oxy for his pain. He got addicted fast and neve could kick the habit and eventually went to heroin since it is basically the same thing.

    Crazy how powerful opiate addictions are!

    RIP Prince. Def grew up with his music. And now we are seeing all the articles about all the other songs he wrote and was performed by others. Holy cow what an amazing talent.

    Who else do you consider in the same category as "musical genius" in recent years?
    Freddy Mercury? David Bowie?
