A life of constant evolution, marked by loud and quiet subversion and sexually ambiguous glamour, came to an end early Thursday morning when the singer died at his Paisley Park compound in Minnesota, the Carver County Sheriff's Office has confirmed.  He had been battling the flu; his plane was reportedly forced to make an emergency landing in Illinois on Friday due to his illness.

Born Prince Rogers Nelson on June 7, 1958, he would later go by Prince, the Purple One, The Artist Formerly Known as Prince, and quite a few other labels. But even as his name changed, his impact on culture would be a constant.
