Iconic singer Prince died at 57

Multiple sources connected to the singer confirmed he had passed. We’ve obtained the emergency dispatch call for a “male down, not breathing,” TMZ reports.

The singer — full name Prince Rogers Nelson — had a medical emergency on April 15th that forced his private jet to make an emergency landing in Illinois. But he appeared at a concert the next day to assure his fans he was okay. His people told TMZ he was battling the flu.

At the show, Prince prophetically told the crowd, “Wait a few days before you waste any prayers.”

Prior to his most recent appearance however, Prince had cancelled two shows due to health concerns.

Prince became an international superstar in 1982 after his breakthrough album “1999.”

He created a lot of hits and won 7 Grammys. He also performed at the Super Bowl in 2007 in one of the greatest live performances of all time.

Prince sold more than 100 million records during his career and won the Academy Award for Best Original Song Score for Purple Rain in 1985.

He was inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, and performed a legendary version of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” to close the ceremony.
