********UPDATE ON PRINCE’S HEALTH***********************

Via TMZ: 3PM PST- A rep for Prince tells TMZ, the singer has been fighting the flu for several weeks. He canceled 2 shows on April 7th but wanted to make Thursday night’s performance in Atlanta, even though he was still not feeling well. After the show, he got on a plane and felt considerably worse, so his plane made an emergency landing in Moline, Illinois, where he was taken to the hospital and treated. He was released 3 hours later, got back on the plane and is now back home.

It’s a lil’ weird that Prince has been battling the flu for “several weeks”…that’s a long time. Let’s hope that’s what it is. It’s good that he’s back home though.
