The world is grieving as news hit that Prince was found dead this morning at his Minnesota home. While it may have come as a surprise to many of his fans, it seems as though the singer may have seen it coming.
It is now being reported that Prince had begun writing his memoirs just last month. “Sources connected with Prince tell us, they were surprised he started the project… something he had been mulling over for years but not acting upon,” TMZ reports. “We’re told he had finished around 50 pages at the time of his death.”
Authorities say no foul play has been suspected.
Many celebrities took to social media to express their grievances over the 57-year-old icon’s passing:
I LOVED him, the world LOVED him. Now he's at peace with his Father. Rest in power, @prince, my brother. pic.twitter.com/ZN6cc3WWuF
