Fox News Remembers Prince

The singer's death came six days after he was rushed to an Illinois hospital after falling ill while returning to Minneapolis from a concert in Atlanta. TMZ reported late Thursday that the "Purple Rain" singer had suffered a drug overdose that caused his plane to make an emergency landing in Illinois on April 15, though Prince's rep claimed that he was suffering from the flu. Prince was released from the Illinois hospital several hours after he was admitted.

The gossip site also reports Prince was spotted making multiple runs to the pharmacy near his home on Wednesday evening prior to his Thursday morning death.

The transcript of the 911 call placed from Prince’s estate was made public late Thursday, and it revealed the caller believed there was little hope Prince could be saved by the time the call was placed. The caller told the 911 dispatcher, “the person is dead here." The caller later told the dispatcher, "it's Prince.”

On Saturday, April 16, Prince hosted a dance party at Paisley Park. Jeremiah Freed, who runs the website drfunkenberry.com and has gotten to know Prince after writing about his events over the years, told the Associated Press that he believed Prince held the party to show everyone he was fine.

Freed didn't have one-on-one time with Prince that night, but Prince made a brief appearance. Freed said the artist showed off a new purple piano he received as a gift, as well as a purple guitar, but seemed upset about the reports of an illness.

Prince's studio DJ, Michael Holtz, echoed Freed's comments in an interview with Fox News' Greta van Susteren.

"He didn't look like, you know, there was any signs of the flu taking him down," Holtz said. "He came out and addressed the crowd and asked us, 'Hey, if you hear any more news, give it a couple days before you start wasting prayers' and we all thought, 'Okay, you know, all is good' and he was very happy.

"He looked like the old Prince."

Lars Larson, a 37-year-old Minneapolis man who had worked security for Prince and at Paisley Park events for about six years on and off, said he was at the same dance party. Larson said the singer was on stage briefly and spoke to the crowd before standing by the sound board for 20 minutes and then disappearing for the night.

"He seemed great. He looked like Prince," he said. "The whole point of the show on Saturday was to show he was doing all right."

A week earlier, the singer had canceled concerts in Atlanta because he wasn't feeling well. He rescheduled the show and opened the April 14 performance in Atlanta by apologizing to the crowd shortly a
