Prince dead at 57, the world reacts
Twitter reacts to legendary singer's passing.

LEGENDARY musician Prince has died at 57. On Thursday morning the singer, born Prince Rogers Nelson, was reportedly found at his Paisley Park studio in Minnesota.
Last week, he was hospitalized after his private plane made an emergency landing following a concert.
One of the most iconic musicians in music history, Prince’s extensive career grew out of the music scene of his native Minneapolis, where he lived his entire life. His 1984 hit, Purple Rain, was his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, it also earned him two Grammys, and Oscar and a victory over Michael Jackson’s Thriller for Favorite Pop/Rock Album at the 1985 American Music Awards.
Here’s what some celebs had to say about Prince.

Prince once said that as he walked through Customs, he was stopped and asked:'Do you have anything to declare?". And he said: Yes, my Genius
