		</div><p>Update 10.10pm: Pop superstar Prince has died at the age of 57 after being found collapsed in a lift at his home in Minnesota.</p>
<p>Medical personnel tried to revive the star, but he was pronounced dead at the scene, said Carver County Sheriff Jim Olson, who added the death is being investigated.</p>
<p>The singer, whose real name was Prince Rogers Nelson, was taken ill on April 15 while flying home from a show in Atlanta, Georgia.</p>
<p>His private jet made an emergency landing in Molina, Illinois and the Purple Rain singer was taken to a nearby hospital by ambulance, where he was treated and released hours later.</p>
<p>At the time a representative for Prince assured fans he was feeling much better and was resting at his Paisley Park home.<br />
But less than a week later paramedics were called to 7801 Audobon Road.</p>
<p>Earlier: Prince has died at his Paisley Park Estate in Minnesota, according to his publicist.</p>
<p>Associated Press have said that Prince&#8217;s publicist has confirmed the 57-year-old&#8217;s death.</p>

<p>The Carver County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed they are investigating a death at the Paisley Park recording studio this morning.</p>
<p>According to Carver County Sheriff Chief Deputy Jason Kamerud, deputies responded to Paisley Park at 9:43am on the report of a medical situation.</p>
<p>He told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that officials are withholding information about the identity of the deceased person until next of kin have been notified.</p>
<p>Prince, whose real name is Prince Rogers Nelson, suffered a medical emergency earlier this month that forced his private jet to make an emergency landing in Illinois.</p>
<p>The shocking news comes after the singer was rushed to hospital on April 15 with a severe bout of flu, after taking a turn for the worse on his private jet after several weeks fighting the virus.</p>
<p>But the following day, the &#8216;Raspberry Beret&#8217; singer wanted to give fans &#8220;living proof&#8221; he was OK and made an appearance at a $10 dance party.</p>
<p>He didn&#8217;t sing, but he did tell the crowd: &#8220;Wait a few days before you waste any prayers.&#8221;</p>
<p>He also recently cancelled two shows due to illness.<br />
Last week, he shared a photo on Instagram of a blank white space, prompting fans to flood his page with get well messages.</p>
<p>The singer &#8211; whose real full name was Prince Rogers Nelson &#8211; shot to fame in 1982 with his groundbreaking album &#8216;1999&#8217;.<br />
He went on to sell over 100 million records and won seven Grammy awards during his lengthy career. </p>
<p>He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, the first year he was eligible.</p>
<p>He famously changed his name to a symbol in 1993 in protest at his recording contract.</p>
<p>Prince was married twice, firstly to dancer Mayte Garcia &#8211; with whom he had a son, Boy Gregory, in 1996 but the tot tragically died at just a week old &#8211; but they split in 2000 after four years of marriage, and then to Manuela Testolini for five years until 2006.</p>
<p>His most recent album releases came in 2015 with &#8216;HitnRun Phase One&#8217; in September and &#8216;HitnRun Phase Two&#8217; in December, and he announced earlier this year that he was writing his autobiography, &#8216;The Beautiful Ones&#8217;.</p>
