The sudden death of Prince has left fans reeling and officials searching for answers. Here's what is known so far: Prince was found dead Thursday morning at age 57. An autopsy was completed Friday, and the singer was cremated on Saturday. Authorities say, however, it could be weeks before the autopsy results are released. Minnesota Police held a press conference Friday, and a local sheriff said there are so many rumors surrounding the singer's death that he's not sure if he'll ever be able to dispel all of them.
But, in the meantime, film fans are getting a chance to pay tribute to Prince this weekend. The AMC and Carmike Theaters will show the 1984 film "Purple Rain" at more than 160 locations nationwide. Screening will be held from April 23rd through the 28th. "Purple Rain" helped make Prince a household name in the U.S., earning him an Oscar for Best Original Song.
Fellow musician Beyonce was one of the singers lucky enough to perform with Prince. And her dad is now speaking out, saying his daughter was greatly influenced by the music legend, after their performance together in 2004. Matthew Knowles explained, "You know, what I learned also is he had a passion for excellence. And he asked that of his entire team. Beyonce learned a lot from that performance in 2004 and you can see that even today in the way that she approaches her tours. You know, Prince did 39 studio albums, he did 28 tours, so his body of work is truly iconic. And he's truly a legend."
Meanwhile, President Obama is overseas visiting true royalty. The president met little Prince George on Friday, and the Internet exploded after seeing a picture of the president crouching down to greet a bathrobe-clad prince. And, once again, the little prince is proving to be quite the trendsetter. The bathrobe in the picture has already sold out. Prince George also showed President and Michelle Obama how nicely he can play on his rocking horse, which was a gift from the Obama's when George was first born.
