Has it been confirmed yet though? There seems to be some confusion on the net.

Jeez. Saw him at Wembley in 91, he was fantastic.

Callumcafc

Only place reporting it so far is TMZ. I'm waiting until some other places report it. If true though, it's a real shocker.

Now on BBC, among others. RIP

North Lower Neil

This year has been ridiculous.

CHG

Sky News running the story on tv.
Edit, the source is from TMZ.

If true that is very sad news. Love his music, RIP Prince.

"Singer Prince has died at his Paisley Park estate in Minnesota at the age of 57, his publicist tells AP."

RIP was literally spinning a few of his songs a couple days ago.

Callumcafc

He was performing in Atlanta only seven days ago. Crazy.

Useless bloody year.
But like Victoria Wood, this one is another bolt from the blue.
RIP Prince. Much too young

I had been holding out hope as it wasn't on the BBC website when the thread started

Prince RIP :-(

Fucking hell. I thought this was a joke.

I saw his plane had done an emergency landing the other day relating to pneumonia or something but had not imagined this.

Amazing musician real genius.
