I cant link the site since its banned ( it's TMZ), but they are reporting somebody has died at his estate. He was battling a sickness recently. I hope it's not true :(

Someone has died at Prince's estate in Minnesota.
Authorities responded to a medical emergency at his Paisley Park studio on Thursday morning. The Carver County Sheriff's department in Chanhassen, Minnesota tells TMZ there has been a fatality, and they're notifying next of kin.
According to the Sheriff's dept ... deputies responded to Paisley Park at 9:43 AM
.


As TMZ first reported ... Prince was briefly hospitalized in Moline, IL. His private jet made an emergency landing there after 1 AM Friday.
His people told us the 57-year-old had been battling a bad bout of flu.

Edit: Didn't know TMZ wasnt banned. Here's the link

Jeez, I really hope not. Saw the headline. Not nice to say I hope it is someone else... But... I hope it is someone else.

I cannot believe I actively missed the Atlanta show last week. Ugh.

I doubt it is him. Seems like TMZ added "he was suffering with the flu." for no other reason but to get clicks.

Well it looks like someone died..and my first thought was I hope it was not Prince..but then I realized I was hoping someone else died just because they were not famous...which is sort of fucked up on my part.
