Supposedly was going back and forth for a bit until a family member confirmed it.

He had cancelled some shows in the last few days due to illness.

I just want tomorrow to be Jan1st 2017 already.
Spare us the rest of our icons and heroes.

Nearly every article up right now about this event says it's due to complications with the flu.

"Prince was hospitalized last week after his plane for was forced to make an emergency landing in Moline, Ill. Released a few hours later, a rep told TMZ that he had been battling a bad case of the flu. "

One of my favorite moments.
He was doing a series of shows in Madison Square Garden. At the end of the shows, he was pulling celebrities up on stage to dance with him.
Well, one night, there was F'n Kim Kardashian.
He pulled her on stage and she stood there like the dope she is until he told her to "Get the $*%@# off my stage" and picked someone else.
Dude's a Hero

seriously between bowie and prince. the strides they made to push not just music, but what it is to be a person... just... so few people can ever match. wtf 2016 seriously.

truly helped make the world a better and less prudish place. forever *** missed. also he was a bit of a *** about his music being on the internet so you wont be able to find many youtube videos that didn't get cease and desist letters. i'll be playing 1999 on repeat for the rest of the day.

rip the man who tamed the little red corvette ; ;

Prince, Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynne

from the rock and roll hall of fame induction. they are doing a tribute to george harrison. watch all these rock classics ***themselves in awe when prince does his solo. watch as his just tosses his guitar in the air and walks away. *** a mic drop this man did a guitar toss.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Vai as far as guitarist go. Prince though he is not as big as he was when I was growing up, he is no less a Massive talent lost.

Scott may as well have died in 2002. Scott had serious, serious problems. I've literally been mourning him since the first time STP broke up, because the man had some very serious demons with which I can only begin to empathize.

Edit: Scott is how I imagine Cobain likely would have ended up had Courtney not killed him he not passed away.

Prince is just one of those artists that even when you didn't like what he was doing you had to respect it because he created what he wanted to create, not what labels or trends dictated he create.

And his talents were just absolutely unbelievable. I hate to sound snooty but if you're not a musician at all I think it's hard to appreciate exactly what the man was capable of.

The world really has lost an unbelievably gifted artist.

Bringing up Weiland is interesting, because I always thought one of Prince's underrated talents was how sane he stayed, despite all the fame, and all the talent. Fame and fortune has broken a lot of truly gifted artists, and it never laid a glove on Prince.
