A representative for the singer told TMZ that Prince had
performed in Atlanta on Thursday despite not feeling well from
the flu, and felt worse after boarding a plane following his
concert.
Representatives for Prince and the Federal Aviation
Administration did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests
for comment.
The plane made an emergency landing in Moline, Illinois, where
the singer was treated and released at a local hospital. He then
boarded the plane and returned home, TMZ said.
The Quad City International Airport, where TMZ reported that
Prince's plane had made the emergency landing due to illness,
could not confirm the incident to Reuters.
The 57-year-old singer canceled two shows last week in Atlanta
due to the flu, according to TMZ.
