We have some very sad news to share this evening, as it has been reported that music legend Prince has passed away at the age of 57.

 

Prince, real name Primce Rogers Nelson, is said to have been found dead in the recording studio of his home in Minnesota earlier today.

 

Suspicions were initially raised when a police officer told Fox 9 that authorities responded to a medical call just before 10am today. This follows reports that the Raspberry Beret singer was hospitalised earlier this week with flu.

 

The star carved an acclaimed career for himself in the music industry, winning seven Grammy Awards. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame back in 2004, and was previously placed at number 27 on Rolling Stones’ list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.

 

Our thoughts and prayers are with the icon’s family at this very sad time.

 

SHARE with a fan of the music legend.
