"Purple Rain" hitmaker Prince was rushed to the hospital after an emergency plane landing in Illinois according to a Friday, April 15 report from Gossip Cop.
Prince, 57, was aboard a private jet when an unknown cause necessitated
the plane's emergency landing at Quad City International Airport in
Moline around 1:00 a.m. this morning. The singer exited the plane and
was immediately transported by ambulance to a local hospital.
TMZ reported
that conflicting reports from several sources connected with Prince
stated he was still hospitalized and was "not doing well." The singer's
Twitter account reveals at least three updates throughout the day. The
first posted at 11:33 a.m., a message stated, “I am #transformed.” Two
subsequent tweets were reviews of his back-to-back Thursday night
concerts in Atlanta. The music legend was returning from the city when the reported flight incident occurred.
Prince, who is currently on the road with his “Piano & A
Microphone Tour," Georgia stops which were originally scheduled for
last week had been postponed after he came down with the flu. The next
Twitter feed updated after the TMZ story broke, plugging a song on
Tidal. A fan wrote in reply, “So I guess this you telling us from
Chanhassen, MN, that you fine. Cool *blows out candle*.” Prince’s
account then quoted the tweet, adding, “WIND NOISE GOES HERE.” Minutes
later, the message was deleted from his feed.
An official update from Prince's rep has been released
confirming the singer's flight did make an emergency landing and he was
indeed hospitalized. The spokesperson blames the situation on the star’s
ongoing flu symptoms, saying he seemed to worsen while on the flight,
necessitating the medical attention. He has since been released from the
hospital and was able to fly home.
Get well soon Prince.
