UPDATE: Prince’s death has now been confirmed by his publicist.
A death was reported this morning by WCCO at Prince’s recording studio, Paisely Park. The Carver County Sheriff’s Office was reportedly investigating with a crime lab and medical examiner on the scene, and there was concern that it was Prince. Now, according to TMZ, “multiple sources connected to the singer confirmed he had passed.”
Prince, who made an appearance at Paisley Park on Saturday, April 16, was hospitalized the night prior due to the flu, which had led to two canceled shows in early April.
