What? He was my age.
Never been his biggest fan, but it's still a blast from my disco days past.

Actually, there is a credible investigation of a death at his home. Just no confirmation it's him.

The fact that Prince is dead, wouldn't be the hoax now would it?
I'm leery of clicking on links that really have no quoted content in the post. (Fear of fucking my computer up and the cost I will pay to fix it are leading reasons)

OK, thanks, Nymph. My mistake. I hadn't thought about that.

Seems to be legit. One of our channels just reported it in the evening news. Although with a different story. Of him being transferred to a hospital and dying there of a severe case of the flu.

From that same site, KSTP (TV) Minneapolis, it looks like it is confirmed. Not a hoax.
http://kstp.com/news/prince-paisley-park...307/?cat=1
Emergency responders were called to Paisley Park at 9:43 a.m. Thursday. Carver County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Jason Kamerud says what began as a medical call has now turned to a death investigation.
Kamerud declined to give further details. There's no word on how Prince died or circumstances surrounding the death.
Last week, the 57-year-old Prince was briefly hospitalized in Illinois. A representative told TMZ the singer has been fighting the flu for several weeks.

Edit Reason: found the actual story.
)
I had to google this and what I found was -
http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/21/entertainm...ate-death/
CNN Wrote:(CNN)Police are investigating a death at the estate of superstar Prince in Carver County, Minnesota, according to Carver County Sheriff spokesman Jason Kamerud.
"We are not releasing any information regarding the identity of the person who died until next of kin is notified," Kamerud said.
Earlier this month, Prince said he wasn't feeling well, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, and canceled at least one concert in the city. Some days later, he took the stage in Atlanta to perform. After that concert, the singer's plane made an emergency landing, the singer's spokesperson Yvette Noel-Schure told CNN. At the time she said, "He is fine and at home."
Developing story - more to come

TV cameras at estate.
Mourners assembling on the grounds.
