Despite his publicist saying that the legendary musician was battling a lingering case of the flu, sources in Moline, where he was treated, say doctors gave Prince a shot of a powerful drug created to counteract opiates called a “save shot”.

After his representatives demanded a private room, which the hospital was unable to afford him, Prince left the hospital just three hours after arriving and departed for home. He was found dead at his home the next day.
Following a performance in Atlanta, Ga., Prince’s private jet made an emergency landing in Moline, IL last Friday. They had tried to revive him for about 20 minutes at the time.
Sources told the gossip site Prince was “not doing well” when he left the hospital.
“Wait a few days before you waste any prayers”, Prince said at a dance party near his home the next day, on April 16. A cause of death has not yet been disclosed. He finished about 50 pages by the the time of his death.
“Today, the world lost a creative icon”, President Barack Obama said in a statement.
Prince’s family members have begun flying into Minnesota following his shock death. “Few artists have influenced the sound and trajectory of popular music more distinctly, or touched quite so many people with their talent”.

It has also emerged that Prince made several trips to a Walgreen’s pharmacy in the days before his death and is said to have appeared more “frail and nervous” than usual on a visit to the store last night. “He was a virtuoso instrumentalist, a brilliant bandleader, and an electrifying performer”.
