Pop/Rock superstar Prince Rogers Nelson dead at 57. He was hospitalized after an emergency landing of his jet in IL a few days ago, they say it was flu like symptoms he had been fighting flu for a few weeks.  He played a gig the next day. Today emergency call to his home. Time will tell the cause. Lots of cancelled gigs last month due to illness.

I just started dating my wife when Little Red Corvette came out, summer 1983. She gave me a LP copy of his second album Paisley something or other, still have it.

Edit: Rogers, not Roger

Edit: TMZ: "Not flu.... "

Edit: TMZ: "...opiate overdose..."

  Funk personified. He will be missed. Just played Purple Rain LP in his honor. Still dancing.
