Is he really dead? TMZ said it but now change it to fatality at his estate, and now the website isn't loading. Only TMZ has mentioned it.

Not fully confirmed. TMZ may or may not have jumped the gun. All other sources are using TMZ as their only verification.

I now wonder where his emergency trip to the hospital on the 14th masked something more.  A sad year for music.  First a world without Bowie.  Now Prince.  Two very innovative musicians.

57.  He had a concert in Atlanta that he canceled on the 15th, and the plane did an emergency landing in Chicago and he went to the hospital, and they said it was the flu, is where the rumors that it was complications with the Flu are coming from.  But nothing has been verified from what I've seen.

Prince Rogers Nelson- named after his Dad's Stage name (Prince Rogers of the Prince Rogers Trio).  He seems an interesting man, and Prince was very much affected by him.

That's the guitar equivalent of a mic drop.
