At 9.43 a.m today police were called to Paisley Park, the mansion where Prince lives, records music and hosts parties. Carver County Chief Deputy Jason Kamerud confirmed a response to a medical call early this morning, but refused to respond to speculation that it was the iconic musician. But it has been revealed in the past hour that it is indeed Prince.
The 57-year old was admitted to hospital six days ago with flu like symptoms, but was later released. He was aboard his private jet when he fell ill, forcing it to make an unscheduled landing in Illinois on Friday morning. Prince had apparently been unwell for a number of weeks, but was believed to have been making a recovery.
He is one of the most iconic musicians of the twentieth century, releasing songs such as Purple Rain, Little Red Corvette and I Want To Be Your Lover. Over his incredibly successful career he has sold over 100m records.
He will be sorely missed. Here’s a video of him performing his biggest selling single, Purple Rain:
