Legendary musician Prince has passed away at the age of 57.
According to TMZ, the artist, whose real name is Prince Rogers Nelson, was found dead at his Paisley Park compound in Minnesota on Thursday, April 21.
Prince's publicist, Yvette Noel-Schure, released a statement to Variety confirming his death.
"It is with profound sadness that I am confirming that the legendary, iconic performer, Prince Rogers Nelson, has died at his Paisley Park residence this morning at the age of 57," Noel-Schure said. "There are no further details as to the cause of death at this time."
Although cause of death has yet to be revealed, sources close to the singer revealed that he had been suffering from the flu prior to his death.
While touring recently, Prince's private jet was forced to make an emergency landing in Illinois on April 15, due to the "When Dove Cry" singer's failing health, TMZ reported. Despite the medical scare, Prince was back on the stage just one day later for a concert in Paisley Park and assured fans that he was well.
The proclaimed King of Funk has been an extremely influential figure in the music industry for over three decades, and we will never forget the many contributions he's made to the arts and the world.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Prince's family, friends and fans during this sad time.
