Prince had a medical emergency on April 15th that forced his private jet to make an emergency landing in Illinois. He was hospitalized briefly after the incident but appeared at a concert the next day on the 16th of April, where he assured his fans that he was okay. Prior to then, he had canceled two shows due to health problems. His people told TMZ that he had been battling a bad bout of flu.
"It is with profound sadness that I am confirming that the legendary, iconic performer, Prince Rogers Nelson has died," said publicist Anna Meacham.
May his soul rest in peace....
