Pop music legend Prince dies aged 57

Author: Web Desk

Prince Rogers Nelson, better known by his stage name Prince, has been found dead at his Paisley Park Estate in Minnesota, Maxim reported on Thursday.

The soul-funk genius had suffered some health scares in recent weeks, but not been hospitalised at length. According to TMZ, Prince’s body was found at the compound early Thursday.

TMZ also reported the “Purple One”, known for volumes of original hits as well as his electrifying stage presence, had only been suffering from the flu. He was 57 at the time of his death.

In a career that spanned over three decades, Prince won seven Grammy Awards and earned 30 nominations. Five of his singles topped the charts and 14 other songs hit the Top 10.

He won an Oscar for the original song score to the classic film “Purple Rain”. The singer’s predilection for lavishly kinky story-songs earned him the nickname, His Royal Badness.
