Singer Prince died Thursday morning at the age of 57, reports The Associated Press. The artist’s body was found at his Paisley Park estate in Minnesota. Last week, a medical emergency had Prince making a visit to Illinois but the singer showed up at a concert the next day telling fans he has the flu.
"Wait a few days before you waste any prayers,” said Prince, who has won seven Grammy awards, to the crowd.
Fans and fellow musicians have taken to Twitter to comment and share condolences on the musical legend’s death. Below are select tweets:
