This is not breaking news as Prince dying was originally reported in online circles days ago like someone was trying to start a hoax death and nothing has been confirmed today.

 

EDIT: CNN is now reporting someone died at Prince's house but that doesn't mean it's him.

Conflicting info, but it is a possibility. 

Exactly, after doing my research, I don't know what to believe. Will wait for credible information.

It's true. Lots of reputable sources are reporting it, as well as his publicist and a Minnesota Sheriff's office. He was battling an illness for a while now.

Wouldnt call "her" a celebrity...but that wrestler Chyna died today as well.

She was 45 years old. Steroid abuse is no joke...

I don't believe steroids played any part on her death....she has had a well documented history with drug abuse, and it is believe that she indeed died of an overdose.

She was off steroid for sometime and she had a history of drug abuse.

Oh, steroids aren't drugs? LOL I won't doubt an OD but don't tell me her body wasn't a wreck from the steroids abuse. Your body is never normal again...

While I wasn't a fan of Prince, this is still sad news. My thoughts go out to his family, friends and fans.

Same.  Wasn't a particular fan of his music ... but I did appreciate his musical genius which touched millions of fans.  

 

...and why all the talk of Chyna here?  Surely there is a wrestling and/or pornstar thread somewhere on Neowin.

Musical genius indeed. Most people have no idea the number of hits he wrote for other singers.

I'm a 29-year-old British lad and I can't say I know any Prince song.

 

I'd probably recognise one or two if I heard them, though.
