Prince

The iconic pop star was found dead at age 57 at his Paisley Park studios in Minnesota Thursday. The death remains under investigation and has fueled speculation about his health, which first sparked earlier this month when he canceled two concerts and later fell ill on a plane, prompting an emergency landing and a short hospitalization.

"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.
