(CNN) Prince, who defined the sound of the '80s with songs such as "Kiss" and "Purple Rain" and defied the music industry in a fight for creative freedom, died Thursday.
The 57-year-old singer was found unresponsive in an elevator at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota, Carver County Sheriff Jim Olson said.
Paramedics tried to perform CPR but were unable to revive him, the sheriff said. He was pronounced dead at 10:07 a.m., less than 30 minutes after sheriff's deputies responded to a medical call at the scene.
Surprised nobody posted this. I was on TeamSpeak with Devin earlier and got an alert that police were investigating a body at his house then about 30 minutes it was announced it was him who had died. I am not really taken by many of these celebrities deaths but with this one, it's really a huge loss. R.I.P
