This thread is about a TMZ story and he is sourcing a story that is sourcing TMZ.

This doesn't confirm anything, even if true.

That is like Gaf -> Internet -> Gaf.

No. When TMZ says a celebrity has died, that celebrity is dead.


[edit] And The AP confirms it above, so yeah.

Urgh, this is the worst.

So many talented people are going so quickly it's like the end of that unbearable Roland Emmerich film 2012 with all the rich people piling into giant arks right before the world ends.

*sigh*

The reason people hate them is exactly why they are reliable and I'm always confused why people consider them not to be when it comes to news this important. Have they ever misreported a death before?

It's almost as if their dislike for them makes them think that they're a bad source or something. Each time a big death like this happens, TMZ reports it first and you see tons of people thinking that TMZ is bullshitting them.

They're sadly never wrong.

Wasn't he a johevehs witness though? That can have serious implications on your ability to be treated for illnesses etc. hope it wasn't something that could've been avoided with proper healthcare. Anyway RIP to a true pop legend.

And the reaper keeps on reaping. Jesus this year is nuts.

Rest in peace Prince. You may have been weird but you made some good music no doubt.

Damn, as a Minnesota native and lover of music, this really hit hard. RIP, Prince. Thanks for the music.

If anyone is interested, there is a good chance that the Minnesota Public Radio station will be playing a lot of his music today. The DJs are all huge Prince fans. They did the same when David Bowie died.

Prince having AIDS has been a rumour for a long time and before the reveal of Charlie Sheen some people suspected the celebrity with AIDS was actually Prince.

I dont think it was ever confirmed though.
