When Doves Cry: Prince's Career in Photos
Prince, one of America's most influential and enigmatic rock musicians, has died, his publicist told NBC News.
Prince performs at the Fabulous Forum on Feb. 19, 1985 in Inglewood, California.
Pop music superstar Prince was found dead at his home in suburban Minneapolis on April 21, 2016. The singer, songwriter, arranger and instrumentalist was widely acclaimed as one of the most inventive musicians of his era, drawing upon influences ranging from James Brown to the Beatles to Jimi Hendrix.
Prince performs at Cobo Hall in 1980 in Detroit.
He toured the world many times over, but was also reclusive, puzzling fans with offbeat antics and offending traditionalists with his mix of religious and sexual themes.
He also toyed with people's conceptions of him, often appearing sexually androgynous.
Prince performs at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on March 29, 2004.
The 57-year-old "Purple Rain" artist's death came a week after his tour plane made an emergency landing in Illinois, where he was hospitalized with what was described as the flu. That illness followed his cancelling a pair of concerts in Atlanta.
