News is circulating that Prince has died at his studio but the facts are sketchy at present.
He died so young. Prince was very talented but went a bit weird in his career like his rival Michael Jackson. After becoming a Jehovah Witness he toned down a bit but he recently picked back his flare. Apparently he was ill and his plane had to make an emergency landing after one of his concerts, I wonder what happened?
President Barack Obama joined the chorus of voices paying tribute to Prince, who died on Thursday.
"Today, the world lost a creative icon," Obama said in a statement. "Few artists have influenced the sound and trajectory of popular music more distinctly, or touched quite so many people with their talent.”

Prince was a very good showman and a an even better guitarist than he was a singer but that's just my opinion. He did make a huge impact on the music industry with his Purple Reign album.
