The music world and fans around the world are shaken with the unexpected and heartbreaking news regarding Prince's death. According to TMZ, who broke the news first, the legendary pop music superstar, passed away at his Paisley Park compound in Minnesota early Thursday morning. Many sources close to the singer, including his publicist, confirmed the sad news.

Prince, who was born Prince Rogers Nelson, had a health scare that caused his private jet to make an emergency landing in Illinois, Chicago on April 15. Despite this incident, the iconic "Purple Rain" singer appeared at a concert the next day. TMZ reports that Prince was battling the flu and died at 57.

We remember the legendary singer-songwriter with some of his best quotes ever. May he R.I.P.
