Prince dies age 57

[bluesparky]

There's a rumour on t'internet that prince has passed away.
Is there any truth in it?

[xgsjx]

Just flashed up from Sky news on my phone. I hope they're wrong!

[Chiliwailer]

Looks like it, watching it on sky news now.

Likewise seen a few tweets/reports but it could be one of his entourage at his place. Sad either way!

Just read the same on breaking news. Found at Paisley park.

Hoax.

[bassfan]

I do hope not! None of the major news agencies are confirming its him..... What is it with 2016!!

[xgsjx]

Apparently died of the Flu.

The above website are carrying the story that Prince has died today, nothing on BBC or the Guardian yet, so will wait for confirmation from another source.

I've never been heavily into Prince, but I know a fair few on here will be upset if it's confirmed.

This is getting beyond a joke...at this rate all of my heroes will be dead by the end of the year. They're having some concert in Heaven this year.

Yeah, just read it in the independent website. Shocking news.

Never been a Prince fan, but that is a bit of a shock!

[colgraff]

Now confirmed on the BBC. A real shock.

[Lozz196]

Yeah, I did read he was in bad health, but not the about to end your life type of bad health.

[ezbass]

2016 can go and do one!

[RickyV]

Bloody Hell. And another one gone. RIP Prince.

[barkin]

Just confirmed on BBC news.

[bassfan]

Gutted.... BBC have just confirmed on 6 o clock news. I know he was like marmite to some... I personally thought he was a genius, especially his early stuff... Amazing artist, amazing concerts...

RIP.....
