More on Prince’s death:

Prince’s body was discovered at his Paisley Park compound in Minnesota early Thursday morning.

Multiple sources connected to the singer confirmed he had passed. We’ve obtained the emergency dispatch call for a “male down, not breathing.”

The singer — full name Prince Rogers Nelson — had a medical emergency on April 15th that forced his private jet to make an emergency landing in Illinois. But he appeared at a concert the next day to assure his fans he was okay. His people told TMZ he was battling the flu.

At the show, Prince prophetically told the crowd, “Wait a few days before you waste any prayers.”

I do know that Prince was a Jehovah’s Witness and he knew the Lord. (Some might dispute that…. but, this ain’t the time for that at all.) Flu can trigger a heart attack, if there’s lots of fluid the lungs. I’ve heard of that happening before.

Either way, this is a huge loss for the music world. RIP Mr. Rogers. You will be missed. 🙁
