​The artist known as Prince was found dead in his Paisley Park home early Thursday morning. Fans of the multi-Grammy winner are devastated at the news of the purple ones passing. He would have been 58 years old this June. TMZ reported last Friday, April 15, that a plane carrying the star was forced to land in order to rush him to the Emergency room. According to Prince’s spokesman he had been battling the flu and despite his condition attempted to make a scheduled concert in Atlanta. After receiving treatment he was released and still managed to perform as planned the next day. His death comes as a shock to the music world, especially as we approach the popular Billboard Music Awards, which will air May 22, 2016.
​Prince Rogers Nelson, professionally known as Prince was a singer, song writer and musician. His majesty's rise to super stardom began as early as 1976. It wasn’t until the release of his fourth album Controversy that his music exploded on the scene making him the iconic musical god that we know and love today.

Prince is undoubtedly one of the most definitive and incomparable music artist of our time. During the span of his 40 year career he’s amassed an abundance of dedicated and loyal fans with his remarkable talent. An although his musical contributions have been confirmed by his induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (2004), it requires no stretch of the imagination to understand the impact that this man has had and will continue to have on the music world for decades to come. 

Prince's former protege Denise Matthews, better known as Vanity passed away two months earlier on February 15, 2016. The Canadian recording artist was 57 when she passed as well.
