Prince dead at 57

The artist known at Prince (birth name Prince Rogers Nelson) has died at the age of 57. Prince had and eclectic style and was widely regarded in his own industry as a true innovator. He had his fans as well as detractors, but without question his musical ability with voice and instruments (he was reportedly capable of playing over 20 instruments professionally) had few peers. 

The details of his death are yet to be revealed. 

The industry has lost yet another great innovator.

I don't think there is a cause of death yet but my guess would be some drug related issue?
It's just a shame how people who seems to "have it all" get caught in the addiction trap.

Lot of rumors flying, but in general Prince seemed to follow a generally good lifestyle.

Prince died one day before he was supposed to get medical treatment for his drug addiction

Prince was found dead on April 21, and his cause of death is still unknown. But it turns out he was supposed to meet with a doctor specializing in opioid addiction the next day.The Star Tribune reports that the musician was scheduled for a visit from a California doctor in an attempt to treat his alleged addiction to painkillers.

Prince's team called Dr. Howard Kornfeld, an expert on opioid (a form of painkiller) addiction treatment, the night of April 20 because Prince "was dealing with a grave medical emergency," William Mauzy, a Minneapolis attorney working with the Kornfeld family, told the Star Tribune.Kornfeld wasn't able to immediately fly out from California, where he runs Recovery Without Walls, and planned to fly out the following day. So he sent his son, Andrew Kornfeld, who works with him, to explain the treatment in person at Prince's Paisley Park home in suburban Minneapolis, according to Mauzy.According to the Star Tribune, several other sources with direct knowledge of the ongoing investigation into Prince's death confirm Mauzy's account.

Andrew Kornfeld arrived at Paisley Park the morning of April 21, and was the one who placed the call to 911 when Prince's body was found dead in an elevator, according to Mauzy.Dr. Howard Kornfeld's plan to treat Prince was a "lifesaving mission," Mauzy said.Prince's representatives were not immediately available for comment to Business Insider.There have been conflicting reports about Prince's alleged painkiller addiction, with some close to the artist saying they knew nothing of such an addiction. CNN reported that authorities found prescription opioid medication on Prince's body and in his home.

The Prince death (even if not from Opiods) which he apparently was taking for pain underlies a major problem here in the US. That problem is prescription drug issue with doctors prescribing opiods at the drop of a hat.

Re: Prince dead at 57

I think we knew this was going to be the cause of his death. (overdose) What a dam waste!
Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opiate analgesic similar to but more potent than morphine.


Autopsy: Prince Died Of Overdose Of Fentanyl
http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2016/06/02/prince-autopsy-death-toxicology/


Autopsy results show that Prince died of a self-administered overdose of Fentanyl, and his death was ruled accidental.The 57-year-old singer was found dead April 21 at his Minneapolis-area estate. The findings confirm suspicions that opioids played a role in the musician’s death.After he died, authorities began reviewing whether an overdose was to blame and whether he had been prescribed drugs in the preceding weeks.
