Prince's body was discovered at his Paisley Park compound in Minnesota early Thursday morning.

Multiple sources connected to the singer confirmed he had passed. The singer -- full name Prince Rogers Nelson -- had a medical emergency on April 15th that forced his private jet to make an emergency landing in Illinois. But he appeared at a concert the next day to assure his fans he was okay. His people told TMZ he was battling the flu.

Prior to his most recent appearance however, Prince had cancelled two shows due to health concerns. Prince became an international superstar in 1982 after his breakthrough album "1999."

He went on to churn out a ton of hits -- and racking up 7 Grammys in the process. He also performed at the Super Bowl in 2007 ... in one of the greatest live performances of all time. He also sold more than 100 million records during his career ... and the Academy Award for Best Original Song Score for Purple Rain in 1985.

Prince was married two times -- the first time to his backup dancer Mayte Garcia. They split in 2000. He then married Manuela Testolini ... but they split in 2006.

same lol I was like THE PRINCE OF WHAT???

I never listened to any of his music but it really is crazy how many people are dying this year. Can't believe Victoria Wood died yesterday as well!

what an ******* awful year. another true music icon.

ugh.

You know, when I heard this I thought of AIDS instantly.

I check on Deathlist on his thread and somebody posted about a BlindGossip column a few days ago about an AIDS rumour. If he died of flu then...

I knew there would be some corkers with this. Too soon?

that's so sad :( i was just saying how yesterday & today an episode of how i met your mother brought him up and made me think about him and what he was doing

fuck, man

rip

So many people pretending they were big fans of his when there are literally like 5 people under the age of 30 who ever listened to him. Still sad though obv, and how come no-one's gone with:

Good night sweet Prince

I think they've heard of it, just didn't know he sung it! I know the song, didn't know it was by him though, RIP regardless.

But if you do that you'll just be another of the losers listening to Prince for a couple of days after he dies and then forgetting he ever existed again

did you not see how many other gems were posted in that thread? i meant ALL of the songs

Oh no clicking stuff seemed like effort

This has certainly been a crazy year, but I suspect years like this will just continue on really as the celebrity boomers from the 50s and 60s get older. In reality there are significantly more "celebrities" year on year.

Incredibly sad, RIP

So many have died this year already :(
