The Legendary Singer/Songwriter Prince Has Past Away At The Age Of 57 

BHR Hollywood Reports.......Prince, the songwriter, singer, producer, one-man studio band and consummate showman, died Thursday at his residence, Paisley Park, in Chanhassen, Minn., according to a statement from his publicist, Yvette Noel-Schure. He was 57.

"It is with profound sadness that I am confirming that the legendary, iconic performer, Prince Rogers Nelson, has died at his Paisley Park residence this morning," publicist Yvette Noel-Schure said.

Earlier Thursday, police said they were investigating a death at the Paisley Park studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota. They responded to a medical call and found the singer unresponsive in an elevator, Carver County Sheriff Jim Olson said.

A massive outpouring of grief followed on social media. Some are saying the icon's death "is what it sounds like when doves cry," a reference to his monster hit from 1984. Fans rushed to record stores to pick up vinyl and other Prince memorabilia.


Kaleena Zanders went to Amoeba Music in Los Angeles to buy a vinyl edition of Prince's iconic album "Purple Rain" on Thursday. She cried in the car as she drove there.

"Prince means the future, because he's changed music, everyone in music, he's influenced every person, and I believe that he represents our future, and it kind of died with him in a way."

No cause of death has been given. In a statement, the Carver County sheriff, Jim Olson, said that deputies responded to an emergency call at 9:43 a.m.:

 “When deputies and medical personnel arrived, they found an unresponsive adult male in the elevator.

 First responders attempted to provide
lifesaving CPR, but were unable to revive the victim. He was pronounced deceased at 10:07 a.m.” The sheriff’s office said it would continue to investigate his death.

Last week, responding to news reports that Prince’s plane had made an emergency landing because of a health scare, Ms. Noel-Schure said Prince was “fighting the flu.”
