Prince is dead at the age of 57, his publicist has confirmed to the AP.
The musician's body was found at his Paisley Park estate in suburban Minneapolis on Thursday, as TMZ first reported, after police were called there about a death.
Last week, Prince was reportedly hospitalized after an emergency plane landing because of illness. A rep told TMZ that Prince "has been fighting the flu for several weeks."
The local Carver County chief sheriff's deputy says that a news release will come after next of kin have been notified, according to the AP.
No cause of death is known at this time.
