American pop music legend Prince has been found dead in his home in Minneapolis. He was 57. His death was confirmed by the Associated Press, citing his publicist. Details about the cause have not been released; the singer was reportedly hospitalized last week after a bout with the flu.
For decades, Prince has been heralded for his innovative style and infectious tunes like “Raspberry Beret” and “Little Red Corvette.” Below we’ve compiled some of his best live performancaes to remember him by.
