#BREAKING Prince DEAD at 57

The artist known as Prince has died ... TMZ has learned. He was 57.

Prince's body was discovered at his Paisley Park compound in Minnesota early Thursday morning.

Multiple sources connected to the singer confirmed he had passed.

The singer -- full name Prince Rogers Nelson -- had a medical emergency on April 15th that forced his private jet to make an emergency landing in Illinois. But he appeared at a concert the next day to assure his fans he was okay. His people told TMZ he was battling the flu.

I'm shocked.

I heard a body was found at Paisley Park studio.

A week or two ago his flight was diverted for a medical emergency.

2016 really is becoming the year of the dead celebrity. This might be the most shocking one yet though.

WOW this one is stunning because he's not the type of artist that you would think would pass early. RIP

I'm listening to this station in MN for updates:

http://www.thecurrent.org/listen

I'm crying at work. The reporter is crying. Fans arriving at Paisley Park.

The girl on the seesaw is laughing
For love is the color this place imparts
Paisley Park
Admission is easy, just say you believe
And come to this place in your heart
Paisley Park is in your heart

What are a couple of good songs of his to check out? All I really know is When Dove's Cry, Party Like it's 1999 (or something), and I think there was a Batman song or something he did.

Legendary musician, possibly one of those that you'd categorize as visionary.

Definitely on the unique side of things. The following isn't exactly flattering but gives some insight into just how unique he was.

Purple Rain is the obvious starter ... such a killer solo.

Pretty sad. He was such a strange guy, from not wanting people to look him in the eye, to him changing his name. Weird Al said a while ago that he's the only artist to have ever refused an Al cover
