Hmmmm.... Some outlets are reporting that he died, TMZ is reporting that he was fatally hospitalized due to a bad flu. I'm not sure what to believe.

Edit: Yep, he's confirmed dead due to a bad flu.... It's a shame as he really wanted to continue his concert tour....

RIP Prince, may your legend forever live on. We love you, one day the world will know, your among the best guitar players of all time. I wish your content wasnt so secretive so the world could truly see.

"Prince didn't throw the guitar away at the end, he was merely handing it back to God."

Such terrible news. R.I.P. Prince.

Just saw this on TV. Was shocked actually. RIP

RIP Prince.

RIP Prince. Purple Rain was legendary

I was surprised to hear about this. R.I.P. Prince. You can post his music videos or live concerts in this thread if you want.

RIP Prince

It's so weird, I had a feeling he would die soon and this is all before news of getting sick and all. I think when I watched a video of him talking about chemtrails, that's when I felt he's going to die young. Goodnight Sweet Prince.

Another icon of the '80s has been lost. :-(

Shocked indeed !! I would post up one of his tunes, but he blocks all his music from youtube.

Wow may he R.I.P.

He is a musician I don't really listen to, but I DO respect for his talent.

This year keeps taking away all those idols from the 80s

Yes, the girl from his movie "Purple Rain" also died this year.

@Kruiz_Bathory: "This year keeps taking away all those idols from the 80ss"

Who else in 80's? =(

@PSP107: Lemmy Kilmister

I just found out about an hour ago, like what the freaking hell Man?! First Chyna and now Prince. Another great musician legend, gone.

R.I.P Prince.

This is killing me. I love Prince. I've been a huge fan since I was little. Unbelievable. I have no words for this.

@Kruiz_Bathory:

I had to Google that name and I came across this

Alot of people say this was the night the Attitude era ended when Stone Cold turned heel.

Yeah. I don't own his music and don't seek it out, but I respect his work. The man mastered so many instruments when most people can't master one.

RIP to a truly one of a kind talent.

Edit: I did catch his performance on SNL a while back, and it was fantastic.

R.I.P. .... you sexy MF...

Prince was great at playing basketball too. He had a lot of talent.

Big loss, I grew up in the 80's dancing to his songs, and I had 4 of his albums, Dirty Mind, Controversy, 1999, and Purple Rain......one of the 4 or 5 big pop icons of the 80's and VERY talented. I saw Purple Rain at the theatre a couple times.

It's crazy how it's so hard to find his official music on YouTube, maybe his death will finally get them unlocked onto there.

RIP, at least he got what most people can only dream of: to live on in the hearts and minds of millions upon millions.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the difference? I've never heard the term "fatally hospitalized" before.

Ah, I read the report wrong, plus I googled Prince and his timely death wasn't updated on time..... That was my fault.

@FireEmblem_Man: No worries, I just thought I was going to learn a new term :-)

I haven't felt this rocked by a celebrity death in a long time.

Prince was one of the greatest talents ever. So inventive, so versatile, and he brought such a unique energy to everything he did.

@AFBrat77: "..one of the 4 or 5 big pop icons of the 80'"

Who was the others besides Michael Jackson,

Madonna? Or was she more a 90's star?

She was most definitely an 80's star.

Cindy Lauper and Billy Idol could round out that 4 or 5 icons. There are certainly better though but they where iconic at the time.

James Brown, Michael Jackson and now Prince. Damn!

Well done my friend, you had his very best. Add Sign o' the Times and you need not want.

@PSP107:

Madonna was one, she was huge in both 80's and 90's but her biggest inpact was in the 80's. Here in the States Bruce Springsteen was another, starting with albums like The River and Born in the USA. You mentioned Michael Jackson. The big 4. If I was to list a 5th it would be a group....Duran Duran or Culture Club maybe?

Really I would say the big 3 pop icons were MJ, Prince, and Madonna in the 80's, Springsteen would be 4th but only in the U.S.

Good night sweet Prince...

May he rest in peace. =(

@AFBrat77:

What about those hair metal bands and those British nu Wave music like culture club?

@mark1974:

I thought James Brown was more 60s/70s. He had a run in the 80s?

Damn this really sucks. RIP.

James Brown was bigger in the 60/70's. I saw him in concert in the 90's. James Brown kind of passed the baton to Michael Jackson and Prince so to speak.

Is it too early to call him "The artists formerly known as Prince"?

But yeah, It's a shame to hear of his passing.

boy, I feel guilty... everytime ... first the quake now this ... we should get rid of those tensions ...

wonder if it was HIV?

BEST BATS SONG EVER. R.I.P PRINCE.

shit , first bowie , ... now prince R.I.P

@the_master_race:

Yeah Bowie was a major 70's icon.

Prince was a major 80's icon.

Who's next, 90's icon Eddie Vedder?

yeah, except we all always laughed at prince, stupid midget ... maybe he was a singer, what a loser ... now died from an overdose poppers ... pathetic

@hitomo: This stuff is fake mate. Some dude told me musicians can sell their souls to become rich. He told me of all these people who have done it and continue to do it. I then asked him where i could sign up and sign my souls for riches. He said he wasnt sure. Me and thousands of others have been searching to sell our souls for riches, but so far, ZERO luck. I havnt even found someone willing to buy my soul for $100.
