Prince was found dead at home in Minnesota at the age of 57, yesterday.
He was discovered in the lift of his Paisley Park property early on Thursday morning, TMZ reported, just a week after cancelling two gigs due to poor health.
An emergency call was made and the person who found him unresponsive said he wasn't breathing.
Prince – full name Prince Rogers Nelson – had a career spanning three decades, and in that time was also known as Jamie Starr, The Purple One, Joey Coco, a literal Egyptian hieroglyph and, of course, The Artist Formerly Known As Prince.
It's thought his death could be linked to his recent spate of poor health, as he was forced to make an emergency landing in his private jet on 15 April.
TMZ are reporting that doctors had to give the singer a 'save shot', which is given to victims of drug overdoses as a last resort.
He was then thought to be advised to stay in hospital to recover, but Prince decided to leave when it emerged he wouldn't be in a private room.
However, he managed to perform at a concert the following night, with his team explaining his health issues as a bout of the flu.
Prince's legacy will live on in his seven Grammys, his 100 million records sold and the fact he was the first star to be inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
