Prince Dead — Body Found At Minnesota Studio

Iconic singer Prince has passed away at the age of 57, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Authorities announced Thursday morning that the body of a middle-aged man had been found at his Paisley Park compound in Minnesota. According to reports, it is indeed the iconic singer, born Prince Rogers Nelson, who passed.

The news followed a disturbing incident on April 15, when the "Purple Rain" singer's plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Illinois.

His reps insisted he simply had the flu, and the singer appeared on stage in Detroit on April 16.

Local news reporter Kelcey Carson of Fox 9 tweeted video of the scene at his estate:
