Prince made a surprise appearance at a dance party in Minnesota on Saturday, in what is believed to have been his final public appearance

Carver County Sheriff Chief Deputy Jason Kamerud says deputies responded to Paisley Park at 9:43 a.m. on the report of a medical situation. Later Thursday morning, authorities confirmed that there was a dead body inside.



Last Friday, Prince was briefly hospitalized. Prince’s representatives say he had been recovering from the flu, which caused him to cancel two shows earlier in April.

There was an event at Paisley Park on Saturday. According to reports, Prince appeared and showed off a new guitar, but did not perform. He also reportedly showed up at a Dakota Jazz Club show Tuesday night to watch Lizz Wright.



Paisley Park is located in Chanhassen, Minnesota.


After 18 years of battling with Warner Bros. Records, Prince now owns the rights to the music he recorded on the label.
