Legendary musician Prince has died at 57.
The artist’s publicist, Yvette Noel-Schure, said in a statement that he died at his Paisley Park home Thursday morning in Chanhassen, Minnesota.
Earlier reports had indicated that the music icon, full name Prince Rogers Nelson, was sick with the flu earlier this month and was even rushed to a hospital after his plane made an emergency landing.

Prince Kicks Kim Kardashian Off His Stage! [Video]
Here’s the first rule about a Prince concert: If the Purple One pulls you up onstage, be ready to shake some booty.
Kim Kardashian — who, arguably, currently possesses the most famous booty in America — broke that rule.
The ubiquitous reality show star was plucked out of the crowd during his Madison Square Garden show Monday night, but when Kardashian got onstage, she did not go crazy nor did she get nuts. She just stood there, prompting Prince to say “Get off the stage” after a few seconds and send her back to her seat.
