Prince was found dead in his Chanhassen, Minnesota, studio on Thursday, April 21 and police are still investigating the cause of his death. However, a new report from TMZ alleged that the legendary pop star was treated for a drug overdose six days before he passed away.

According to the site, the musician underwent a treatment when his private jet made an emergency landing in Moline, Illinois on Friday, April 15, hours after his performance in Atlanta. The show had initially been pushed back a week as it was said the singer had been suffering from flu.

It was later said that the emergency landing was performed because the singer had to meet a doctor immediately. He was rushed to a hospital and doctors gave him a "save shot," which is commonly given to counteract the effects of an opiate.

The site went on claiming that doctors advised the singer to stay in hospital for 24 hours. His team demanded a private room, but when they're told it wasn't possible, he and his team left after just three hours.
