Update
Sadly wasn't a hoax.
On radio they said he passed away from a flu-like illness (possibly)
On April 15, 2016, Prince's private plane was forced to land in Illinois so he could seek medical treatment for flu-like symptoms. He performed in concert one day later.
On April 21, 2016, he died at the age of 57. He was found unresponsive at his home in Chanhassen.[
