That is not the story that we are hearing here. The developing story is that someone has died at his Paisley Park Studios. There is no official identification on who this is.
Not that TMZ is a responsible outlet, but their reports are irresponsible and possibly premature.

CNN is just saying there was a death on his estate, but next if kin needs to be notified before the name is released.

This is a very reputal news source. |

Wow, I feel like I just had the wind knocked out of me.
ETA: WXPN in Philly is playing all Prince music this afternoon (as, I'm sure, are many radio stations today) and normally, I would be bopping around in my seat and singing until I finally had to get up and dance but today, I just sit here. The soundtrack of my senior year of college was Purple Rain.

I was just listening to Raspberry Beret in my car yesterday and reminiscing about the days of my youth. Prince was a large part of that. RIP.

AC Entertainment, the group that books the Bonaroo festival, just tweeted a Prince tribute. I'm in shock.

Also, the last thing I would call The Social is a reputable news source. The CTV newsroom? Yes. The Social is banal gossip. |

As I got in my van today, I heard Prince died at age 57 according to TMZ and nothing more. I didn't know if I missed the whole story like it was one of those hoaxes. I didn't love his music, but that is way too young to die.  |

 One of my favorites. Such a musical talent. Saw him in concert a couple of times, and saw "Purple Rain" several times. Man, he was way too young to die.

TMZ was first to break that Michael Jackson had died, too. They might not be the most newsy of the 'news' sites, but they are usually not wrong about this kind of thing. Publicist has confirmed according to what's trending on FB. This stuff really depresses me...makes you really think of your own mortality. Three names in as many days (unless Doris was Monday, I don't recall for sure) that I recognize...so sad.

I've seen confirmation from more than one source, all of which used his publicist as their confirmation.

I'm so very sad. I graduated from high school with his drummer, Bobby "Z" Rivkin. Bob and I were classmates since 6th grade. In fact several in his band were from my hometown. Another musical genius, gone far, far too young. |
