Apr 21 16 10:46 am Link Variety, The prolific songwriter and performer, born Prince Rogers Nelson, had a medical emergency on April 15 that forced his private jet to make an emergency landing in Moline, Ill. He performed the following day, however, and his publicist told Variety that he was battling the flu. Prince recently cancelled two shows due to health concerns. The music icon, who has won seven Grammys during his career, was inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in 2004. He won an Oscar for best original song score in 1985 for “Purple Rain.” One of the most iconic musicians of all time, Prince released 39 albums during a career that spanned more than 35 years. His 1978 debut album “For You” and self-titled second LP (1979) were followed by such albums as “Purple Rain,” “Around the World in a Day” and “Sign O the Times and Batman.” Apr 21 16 10:47 am Link Holy crap. Prince, Bowie, Weiland, Lemmy, Haggard, Frey, Emerson, Anderson, Kanter...the list goes on and on. If the past few months have taught us anything, it's to go see the artists you love now, because there may not be a later.

Apr 21 16 11:12 am Link Cause of death? Apr 21 16 11:16 am Link Too many of the greats are leaving us far too soon. Farewell, Your Badness. Purple dreams forever. "The Beautiful Ones" from Purple Rain. Apr 21 16 11:28 am Link Chuckarelei wrote: Prince was suffering from flu, but working through it. Emergency stop on a flight home a week ago. I would guess pneumonia or related which often follows having flu.

Apr 21 16 12:31 pm Link I saw him in concert in SF during his Purple Rain tour. It was amazing! And I've always enjoyed his interviews with Jay Leno on the Tonight Show. It gave a glimpse of who he was beyond the music - very cool. I'm quite in shock to hear this news - RIP Prince.

I always imagine really rich people get the best of everything healthcare wise. wonder if theres more to the story. heres a video of director kevin smith on what it was like working with price on making a religious video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RW7daZ0ptrk Apr 21 16 05:52 pm Link Way too young to go. I'm very curious to hear what the coroner will have to say. He was a great guitarist and even greater musician. RIP Prince Apr 21 16 06:10 pm Link RIP Prince a musical prodigy, gone to soon Google had a nice little tribute Apr 21 16 08:33 pm Link Not only did we lose Prince yesterday, we also lost Percy Sledge and Lonnie Mack. Apr 22 16 01:29 am Link Apr 22 16 03:46 am Link i enjoyed Prince music n used alot of it in my disco mixes in the club. but if you knew his life... he was regarded as a freak. but aren't the best artists freaks? rip, his music lives on Apr 22 16 04:50 am Link Another seminal performance. 2007 Superbowl halftime show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NN3gsSf-Ys Apr 22 16 07:45 am Link Goddamit! I am sick of this! So much talent leaving us so early. I saw the Eagles just before Glenn Frey died and I'm still not over it. Now Prince is gone to guitar Heaven. Rest In Peace but rock on brother! Apr 22 16 08:01 am Link Possible ovedose....news coming out now....maybe a prescription overdose? I never heard that he did hard street drugs. Apr 22 16 08:26 am Link Tony From Syracuse wrote: I'm also suspecting an opiate abuse per TMZ with his drug mess at the hospital where he refused to stay on that odd air travel and emergency landing incident last week. They say he had hip surgery a few years ago so maybe too much pain meds led to organ failure. Weird his girlfriend Vanity also died a few months ago, also age 57, due to renal failure from early drug abuse.

When is the last time you have heard of anyone dying of the flu and it wasn't related to Aids or the person was an infant or an elderly person?
