In an exclusive interview with People, Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler talks about the tragic loss of musical icon Prince Rogers Nelson, who was found unresponsive on the morning of Thursday, April 21st at his home at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, a Minneapolis suburb, and later declared dead. The Grammy/Oscar/Golden Globe winning artist was 57. An autopsy was conducted Friday at the Midwest Medical Examiner's Office in Ramsey, Minnesota, but it could be weeks before results are complete.
"I've certainly had my moments of crying about him," Tyler says. "He was a saint. He was a musician and he spoke my language so it's a little harder to take. I would love to just tell you I'm crying because we're going to miss him and his music, but I think it's deeper than that."

A rep for Prince told TMZ yesterday that “Prince was celebrated by a small group of his most beloved: family, friends and his musicians, in a private, beautiful ceremony to say a loving goodbye. Prince's remains have been cremated and their final storage will remain private. We ask for your blessings and prayers of comfort for his family and close friends at this time. The cause of death remains unknown and it will be at least four weeks before we receive the results of the autopsy. An announcement will be made at a future date for a musical celebration."
