proud of. there are things that people don't pay a lot of attention to now, but the response to the ebola crisis, for about three weeks everybody was sure that everybody was going to die. we're all going to get ebola! we're all going to die! there was sort of a hysteria about it, and then everybody forgot about it. and the reason everybody forgot about it was because we mounted the one of the best public health responses maybe in the history of the world. i don't know. i'll look at a scorecard at the end. and i'm proud about the fact
3:01 am
that i think that i have been true to myself during this process. sometimes i look back at what i said when i was running for office and what i'm saying today, and they match up. so there's i think a certain core integrity to what i've been trying to do. we've had failures and occasionally we've been blocked. but this goes back to one of the themes of my opening statement and it's important for all of the young people here to rememb remember. change takes time, and oftentimes what you start has to then be pick up by your successors or the next generation. you think about the gap between
3:02 am
something i'm most familiar with, the american civil rights movement. you had abolitionists in the 1700s -- >> well, quite a moment for that audience there. you see president obama in london at lindley hall talking to a group of young people from both britain and the u.s. they've been asking a lot of questions of him. he is now in the q&a. we'll continue to monitor this from behind the scenes. but we do want to welcome you to "new day." we have no reason to believe at this point that this was a suicide. prince's initial autopsy results are in. it rules out suicide and foul play. also, as we just said, at this moment president obama speaking at a town hall event in london. these are live pictures for you. he's talking, in part, about the
3:03 am
importance of the u.s./uk relationship. and bernie sanders battling against hillary clinton. will he be able to get enough delegates he needs to win the democratic nomination? i want to wish you a happy saturday. thanks for waking up with us so early. 6:03 is the time right now. i'm christi paul at cnn center. we are remembering of course the life and the legacy of his purple highness, prince. victor blackwell leads our coverage live from prince's paisley park compound near minneapolis. good morning, victor. >> reporter: good morning to you. i am outside the building where prince put that musical genius to work. he made hits here. i think the word "hit" is too superficial of a term. many much these songs were classics. this was his home. this was a recording station. this was his performance base and sadly on thursday this is where prince died. investigators are trying to answer lingering questions
3:04 am
3:05 am
>> he was found unresponsive in the elevator so that timing was in the 9:00 hour the next morning. it is still not clear but what is interesting is that they didn't rush him anywhere which is leading to believe something may have happen here that he may have already passed away. but the fact that they did do the autopsy. we will find out but they are looking around the scene because of the fact that he was by himself. this mega superstar, someone you might think that people would be around. they do believe that he was by limb self-. it was shocking death now. there are so many people around the world who are looking for those final moments, the last time he was in public, the last time he was recorded on video and we're seeing now some of that video. it seems to be healthy prince. >> right. you know what's really interesting about this -- i talk to the mayor yesterday of chanhassen here where prince lived. he said that he believed part of
3:06 am
the reason why prince like living here is because he could live kind of like a normal person, as normal as prince would be. right? he could go to the store. he could go to places around -- apparently he could also ride his bike. cnn has obtained exclusive images just on the 16th of april. talking about in the last couple of days before he passed away where he is on a bicycle, where he is riding around and he is looking like he is healthy. that is what is really interesting. if you think about it, it is because we know that his plane came down early coming back from those performances in atlanta. he stopped in me loan, then continued on and came home. he had that emergency hospital stay, very brief. but you would think then he might be so frail or something else that he wouldn't be able to ride a bike. but there we have these images. interesting timeline here what could have gone wrong. that's why some people waiting to hear what is going to come back from this autopsy. >> you make an interesting point of the last few moments, the
3:07 am
last days of prince being here. there was that performance here at paisley park in which he gave that now ironic and kind of sad request to people don't waste those prayers on me just yet. and now we have this happening on thursday. we'll continue to talk about the investigation in just a moment. i just heard my producer -- give me that again, please. let's send it back to christi. >> victor, we just wanted to talk to you real quickly about that compound again and where you are as you were just talking about it. i know that you're live there but jean casarez was there as well and she has this piece about inside that compound. you are outside of course. we see so many of the flowers, memorabilia, the people that are still behind you at this early hour there. but a lot of people would like to know what it is like inside.
3:08 am
let's take a live look here. prince was found in an elevator unresponsive. cpr failed to revive him, he was pronounced dead at 10:07 a.m. outside fans gathered as word spread. many hugging one another, crying. >> it is still a shock just to hear the news this morning of what was going on. i had to come on here because i'm like this can't be true. this can't be true. >> reporter: the news officially confirmed by his publicist. it is with profound sadness that i am confirming that the legendary iconic performer prince roger nelson has died at his paisley park residence this morning at the age of 57. just last thursday, prince was still performing two shows in atlanta, flying home friday morning. his private plane made an emergency landing in moline, illinois. hospitalized briefly, various reports that prince suffered flu-like symptoms. another that he was dehydrated.
3:09 am
but the next day he showed up at paisley park for a short time. it was to be his last appearance on a stage, showing off his new piano and a guitar, telling fans he was okay and wait a few days before you waste any prayers. >> i couldn't believe it! i didn't believe it! he was just here saturday! he was just here saturday! >> reporter: the next morning this photo of prince riding a bike near his home. but he had shown signs of ill health for weeks. in early april complaining of flu-like symptoms, he postponed two shows in atlanta. ♪ >> reporter: immediately after word of his death, social media exploded. an outpouring of grief from both the famous and his many fans. madonna writing simply, "he changed the world. a true visionary. what a loss. i'm devastated." speaking with larry king almost two decades ago, the seven-time
3:10 am
grammy winner and one of the best selling recording artists of all time knew what was always most important to him. >> i kind of did way wanted to do. i wanted my music as, even now, to speak loudest for me. >> certainly a lot of people would say it indeed is doing just that. we'll have more from victor who is live again in minneapolis in just a bit. but still to come, an anti-trump super pac pulling out all the stops to prevent donald trump from becoming the gop nominee. what they are doing. we'll have that conversation. stay close. zulu-6-9er...

3:14 am
15 minutes past the hour. so grateful to have you with us. we'll get you back to victor in minnesota in a couple of moments. but right now president obama is holding a town hall in london this morning. here are some live pictures. he is facing backlash after he jumped into this contentious debate over whether britain should leave the european union saying a british exit from the eu would not only be bad for the uk but it would compromise trade and security. athena jones is traveling with the president in london. athena, talk to us about the reaction in the uk to president obama's contention that the uk needs to stay in the eu. >> reporter: well, certainly the folks on the remain campaign, which would include the uk prime minister, david cameron, are pleased with the president weighing in on this debate. they believe this is a popular
3:15 am
president. maybe he can have some influence on british voters as they look ahead to this june 23rd referend referendum. this talk of the special relationship having no closer or stronger ally for the u.s. than the uk and the u.s. believing that the uk is strongest as a part of europe, as a part of the eu, that is something we know the president was encouraginenc. of course folks in the leave campaign believe that the president is meddling in uk affairs in a way that the u.s. would never accept. the u.s. would never accept other countries or other countries' leaders meddling in u.s. affairs. so that was the big news of yesterday. today of course the president is in the middle of a up to hall. he likes doing these events with young people in many of the countries he visits. he was introduced by a woman who said from the young leaders group of the uk putting on this event saying we are the future obamas, the future david camerons, even the future steve jobs, and in honor the prince, we are the new power generation.
3:16 am
you can see the president is having a good time, he is very relaxed. he said these events inspire him just as he seeks to inspire the audience there. listen to what he had to say about his primary message today. >> my primary message today is going to be to reject pessimism and cynicism, know that progress is possible, that our problems can be solved. progress requires the harder path of breaking down barriers and building bridges and standing up for the values of tolerance and diversity that our nations have worked and sacrificed to secure and defend. progress is not inevitable and it requires struggle and perseverance and discipline and faith. but that's the story of how we won voting rights and women rights and workers rights and civil rights and immigration rights. >> reporter: so he's continuing along those themes. just now he was asked about his legacy and he gave a very long
3:17 am
answer, first saying i don't pay attention to my legacy, issues of my legacy on a day to day basis. but then he went on to talk about things he is proud about, prin for instance passing the affordable care act, perhaps his biggest achievement. but also things like the nuclear deal with iran which he believes has removed a danger from the world stage, the danger of iran achieving a nuclear weapon. so some interesting questions he's getting during this town hall. we'll keep you posted on anything else of interest that comes out of it. >> cnn's athena jones, thank you so much. we appreciate it. it was interesting, as athena was saying, to hear some of the questions that were asked, many people asking him about his predecessor and what they think he will do in particular situations and one asking if your predecessor comes to you and she says that, and at that point the question stopped for a minute because everybody was chuckling. obviously people there really concerned and wondering about who is going to take over the presidency.
3:18 am
so we're going to continue as athena said to bring you the latest from london and president obama's trip. right now, back to victor. >> reporter: i'm standing outside of paisley park near minneapolis. this was prince's home. this was his recording studio. there was a showcase here, this was a performing space as well. this was the home of his creative and it was seen not just -- or heard in just his music, it was in his stage performances, the wardrobe, the presentation. much of what we saw came from this place. how he changed through the years, we'll have that for you in just a moment. also, recharged and not backing down. what bernie sanders is saying about hillary clinton ahead of next week's critical primaries. . awards for rolling balls. awards for spelling words nobody uses. we get it. you're smart. they give awards for haircuts for dogs.
3:19 am
3:22 am
welcome back. i'm victor blackwell outside of paisley park, the home of prince where he died earlier this week. you see behind me all of the balloons, flowers, notes, signs, many written in languages other than english. of course, prince had fans around the world and beyond his music, people really loved his fashion. the stage presence from the hair styles to the heels. i mean prince could put on a new look at easily as he could write one of those classic songs. and as the decades changed, so did the fashions. randi kaye shows us a few of the many looks of prince.
3:23 am
>> reporter: on the cover of his self-titled album in 1979, prince appeared bare chested with big, loose hair. but that look didn't last long. in 1980 with the release of his album "dirty mind," he dons skimpy briefs and little else. soon he jumped on this early '80s trend, a victorian inspired look which included patterned silks woven with color and countless ruffled blouses. the tighter the pants and tdeepr the neckline, the better. >> he was one of those people that you can't nail down his style. he kept changing and moving. it was lace one day and tunics another. >> reporter: by the time his sixth album, "purple rain" was released in june 1984, prince had hit his purple phase. often paired with low-cut ruffled blouses and some crazy
3:24 am
patter patterns. the purple one lived up to that nickname. when he wasn't in purple around that same time, he was likely in lace, head to toe lace suits. high-collared lace shirts and sometimes even lace gloves. by the time 1991 came along, prince's new favorite color seem to be yellow. yellow guitars, yellow bolero jackets, yellow jump suits. who could forget this one from his 1991 hit "get off." this rather revealing yellow jump suit was perhaps one his most outrageous outfits. >> he took a lot of fashion risks. like his butt cheeks were out. we saw that. and then even at the super bowl he had a do rag. >> reporter: more than than not, prince liked to stick to one color, here at the 1999 mtv music video awards. it was electric blue, head to toe. years later at the people's choice awards, it was all white, even white heels. the singer reportedly favored cuban heels because women liked
3:25 am
them. >> all his shoes were -- almost all of them were covered in the same fabric at his trousers so it was this seamless line to make him look taller. but he could do some things in those shoes. >> reporter: prince also used fashion to make a statement. in 1993 prince dropped his own name and starting going by a symbol which combined the male and female signs. the statement about gender carried over to his stage costumes and even his guitar which was also shaped like the symbol. he had more conservative looks, too. gangster style pinstripe suits and fedoras. and power sut eer suits like th he wore to the grammy awards. he later discovered gold, lots of it. he wore gold sequins head to toe at this madison square garden concert in 2011 and more gold at the 2015 american music awards. once written about the singer,
3:26 am
"when it comes to merging music and fashion, creating a mystique through style, nobody does it better than the ever elusive prince." that held true to the day he died. randi kaye, cnn, new york. >> randi kaye, thank you so much. part of the entire performance, not just the music, not just the stage presence and the purple pianos and those custom guitars of course was the fashion. i see randi left out those infamous chaps that prince wore in one performance. i think people looked forward to what he was going to wear and in some cases not wear as much as they were what the song was going to be. >> very well said, victor. very well said. yeah, there is no doubt about it. looking at that memorial behind you that has been built, it's just fascinating to look at that
3:27 am
and think when they start talking about memorials to him in terms of services and ceremonies to mark his death, it is going to be interesting as we move forward to see what that's going to look like and how people will react and try to maybe get involved in those because obviously you can only memorialize somebody in a certain space unless it is televised. i'm sure that it will do that. but victor, what is behind you is definitely indicative of had his impact and how everybody wants to be involved in that memorial. so thank you so much, victor. victor is staying with us all morning long obviously talking about prince's legacy, too and turning the world purple as i am talking about. landmarks across the globe lit up to honor the purple one. fans, celebrities, the president weighing in on this loss of this musical pioneer. we'll talk about that more. also, wanting to talk about

3:32 am
music legend on friday. the medical examiner's office says it was not release any information until all tests are complete. but this is what we heard from the sheriff. there were no signs of trauma, no signs of suicide. you know by now that prince was found unresponsive two days ago. paramedics could not revive him. he was 57 years old. we'll be here as mourners come to pay tribute to prince here outside of paisley park where he lived. >> victor, thank you so much. want to talk, too, this morning about president obama. he's fielding questions right now from a youthful crowd at a town hall in london. moments ago he was asked what he wants his legacy to be after eight years in office. a few of his answers included passing the affordable care act, turning the economy back from the great recession and final e finalizing the iran nuclear deal. in the race to stop donald
3:33 am
trump, it seems, the stakes are high, the money is huge. one anti-trump super pac is spending $300,000 on ad time in the baltimore area alone. it was done spend half a million dollars across indiana to try and block the front-runner from securing the nomination from the gop convention in july. cnn political anchor and commentator aerol lewis. is there any way this could actually damage trump? any of these ads that you've seen? >> i've got to assume -- i think most people should assume that the anti-trump ad xa dchld camp waged thus far have had some effect. winning new york with 60% of the vote was a high point for him. he normally is not polling above 50%. even in the states that he wins.
3:34 am
so is the ads are having some effect somewhere. they will probably continue to do so. the other question is will the other candidates take advantage of it. john kasich, ted cruz, they have so underperformed, they have so i think disappointed the "never trump" people that even if you spend money telling people not to vote for trump, you've got to also kind of go the extra step and tell people who they should vote for and that's where this effort has really been kind of weak. >> the republican party and its candidates seem like they got a warning from reince priebus in florida yesterday. let's play some of this. >> it is essential to victory in november that we all support our candidate. this goes for everyone, whether you're a county party chairman, an rnc member, or a presidential candidate. politics is a team sport and we can't win unless we rally around
3:35 am
whoever becomes our nominee. >> it almost sounds, errol, as if he is essentially telling the party, look, if trump is the nominee, deal with it. what was your take-away? >> yeah, that's one way to interpret it. for reince priebus it is really matter of saying however we fight this out at the convention -- of course no chairman wants to see a messy convention -- i determine this is him jumping ahead to the end of the convention and sort of surgerying to people the scorched earth attitude really isn't going to work and sooner or later we are going to have to rally around somebody. even if you decide the senate is a lost cause, the republicans can't hold a majority control of the senate, you've still got a lot of different things that you've got to make happen. you've got to try to keep your organization together. you've got to try and preserve some hope ef comie i of coming
3:36 am
the white house and the senate. if there is anybody who is going to be an apostle, the real spokesman for unity, it's got to be the chair. >> okay. and trump team, let's face it, they were in florida this week, as were all the teams. but trump's team was there trying to convince gop insiders that trump can be presidential. now, i want to take a look at something that he said just last night. >> you ever call up on your credit card? you want to find out about your credit card. guess what? you're talking to a person from india! you say how the hell does that work? i said to the person, where are you from? >> i was just checking on my card i was finding out if this was true. i called up under the guise i'm checking on my card. where are you from? we are from india. oh, great, that's wonderful. >> okay. does it -- i know you're chuckling. does it sound like somebody who
3:37 am
can change for a general election or change for the presidency? >> look, let's put it this way. he has managed to not change for the 40 adult years of his life. the man is going to turn 70 this summer. he has managed not to change over the nine months of his campaign. he has managed to say that he'll be presidential and not change for even 24 hours. he's not even been able to maintain discipline for that long. i would have to say, it would be logical to conclude that all of these claims that he's going to become a totally new person, although the way that he acts has brought him great financial and political success up until now, is simply a mirage. i don't think that's going to happen at all. what you see is what you get. >> you have to think the people are voting for him because of who they see. if they think that he is going to change, would that really be -- would it give credence to who he really is. >> well, that's right. look, what you just played would appall a lot of people, but it
3:38 am
would also incite and amuse a lot of people. that division is what donald trump has been playing on for months now. >> errol liouis. for more on the republican race, we'll have donald trump's convention manager john manafort joining us. meanwhile, on tuesday five more states heading to the polls, including the big delegate prize of pennsylvania. join us for all-day coverage. super tuesday right here on cnn. that is coming up. and also, victor is still with us there from minneapolis, from minnesota. talking about prince and all of the memorials that are going on. and really where we go from this point on. have we heard, victor, have you gotten any word of public or even private memorial that's being planned for him yet?
3:39 am
>> i think all of that is being planned now. of course with the star of this magnitude and with this style, it has to be done just right. those close to him will be planning that as days go on. but until then you see behind me -- at least you saw a moment ago, all of the balloons and cards, the notes, personal notes here, candles and mementos that have been left here by people who were touched by prince's music. we'll look at that legacy and the investigation moving ahead when we continue here on "new day saturday." why do people put milk on cereal?

3:42 am
3:43 am
-- in addition to that, you know she received $125,000 per speech. at the end of the day, you not only have to talk the talk, you have to walk the walk. >> senator bernie sanders there talking the talk not backing down from his attacks on hillary clinton. the two democrats crisscrossing the northeast today ahead of tuesday's primary. voters in five states will head to the polls. the big prize this time around is on pennsylvania. after winning in new york, hillary clinton is dialing it back on the attacks on her rival and dialing in on donald trump's
3:44 am
rhetoric. >> is it really about me? i'm not going to respond to what he says about me. i'm going to respond to what he has said about women in jegener. i'm going to respond to what he has said about immigrants. >> maria cardona and miki khan. when we look at five states we are voting on tuesday, where does the bernie sanders camp see his strengths? >> what's great about the upcoming states, unlike new york which was supposed to be a blowout for hillary clinton but she won by less than she won in 2008 with all the endorsements, pennsylvania is a stronghold. he does very well with blue-collar working class voters, working americans. that's the biggest number here but this is about margins now. what the hillary industrial complex would like you to
3:45 am
believe and all of their messengers is that she's winning. they've got hundreds of messengers saying this over and over. but the reality is it only comes down to pledge delegates. those are the rules of the dnc. superdelegates cannot announce their decisions until they are at the convention and she is not going to hit the magic number of 2,384 by june 7th. the reason why is because the margins are small. the largest margin was supposed to be new york and she still only picked up 40 delegates more than bernie sanders. so what that means, she's capped out of 250 pledge delegate divide. nobody is going to hit that magic number by june 7th and they are tied in california right now which is the largest pledge delegate state. >> absolutely. in california you've got 475 delegates at stake there. no doubt about it. maria, when we talk about numbers, a lot of people look the a numbers and think this is wrapped after. after new york they think, all right, well hillary clinton most likely has the nomination. what is her strategy from this
3:46 am
point on? we saw her kind of forgetting about bernie sanders. she's looking at donald trump. but at the end of the day the republican campaign is very much in question for a lot of people. what is her strategy with no seeming formal nominee, i suppose, on the republican side? >> sure. well, first of all, her strategy is to make sure that she does have this nomination wrapped up. she's not going to take anything for granted and she is going to continue to fight for that. but look, the math is pretty clear. and i understand bernie sanders supporters. they are incredibly disappointed that he did not get this big win in new york that they were expecting. even ted divine said they didn't get the number of delegates they hoped to get. many of them are starting to realize that he doesn't have a viable path to the nomination. so i think they have a choice to make really because right now what we're seeing is that bernie sanders is feeding into the rhetoric that donald trump is
3:47 am
using. so hillary clinton's strategy moving forward is going to be to pin continue to focus on the message for democrats in general because the biggest challenge here, the biggest eye on the prize that we all need to make sure that we have is in november against the republicans. look, i get it. i've been there. i was where bernie sanders supporters are now in 2008. it is really hard. and i understand that. many of them are even frustrated that the bernie sanders campaign is still continuing to ask them for money and to lay out what they believe is a viable path to the nomination when many of them -- let me finish. >> let her finish her statement mere. >> thank you. when many of them are now digesting the fact that the math is all but impossible for bernie
3:48 am
sanders. >> miki, is your math including the thought process that bernie sanders is going to be able to shift these superdelegates? >> absolutely. none of this matters right now. there is a 240-difference pledge delegate divide. maria, you can propagate what you want and all of your message from david rock can go out into the universe but the reality is there are rules and she needs to earn 938 delegates to reach this nomination. right now california's 475 delegates. she needs to win almost all of california to win that and they are tied in california. >> but so does he. in all honesty, so does he. so i'm sorry, ladies, i'm getting the wrap. i apologize, i wish we could have this conversation further. we have to go. we'll be talking again to you soon. definitely. no doubt about it. thank you both for taking the time for us here. purple is draping museums and stadiums and monuments and

3:56 am
your parking space, and the song is not done by the time you get there, you turn off the engine, leave the key in the ignition, and you sit and wait until it's over. and for me, that song is prince's "adore." it is, by far, the most intense love song, 6:30 long, more than twice the average of any song on the radio today. so this is, in a way for many of the people reporting this story, personal because he was an icon of music for me as well. >> i am with you there, victor. they were playing "let's go crazy." i sat in my car and i didn't leave. because i just had to hear the rest of it. >> you wait until it finishes. >> you do. you have to. and give him certainly the honor. coming up at the top of the hour, we have the latest on the timeline of the investigation into what we know killed prince.

this is wayne anthony house. they say he committed suicide this morning but before that he shot and killed five people in a small town just west of augusta yesterday. investigators say the shooting happened in two homes about a half-mile apart. all of the victims were related to the suspect's wife. officials at the palm beach zoo say a trainer killed by a tiger broke rules when she entered the big cat's area. the zoo's president said she entered the tiger's sleeping quarters after the felines were given access violating zoo policy. the zookeeper was the lead keeper. the 13-year-old tiger was tranquilized after that attack and is still at the zoo. in brussels the subway station where 16 people were killed in a terror attack will re-open in just a couple of days on monday. maalbeek station has been closed since march 22nd when a terrorist launched twin bombings in the underground station and

4:03 am
just a moment. but first, cnn's kyung lah has more on the final moments before prince's death. >> reporter: investigators here in minnesota say that they are still working to try to piece together an accurate timeline, with a was prince doing in the days and weeks leading up to his untimely death. and while this is happening, cnn has obtained exclusively this video from a strip mall right near where he lives. a woman captured this video. he appeared healthy enough just five days before he died to be riding a bicycle, doing something that any normal, healthy person would do. the woman said that he look quite healthy. yes, thin, but healthy enough to ride a bicycle. investigators say what they've been able to concretely learn is that the night before prince died he was dropped off here at his home at 8:00 p.m. he wasn't discovered again by staff until he stopped picking up calls.
4:04 am
they found him unresponsive, collapsed in an elevator. cpr did not revive him. investigators say now that they have conducted an autopsy. the results are expected to come in this days, if not weeks. they also want to try to talk to as many people as prince had contact with. they want to know what doctors was he seeing, where did he go, was he on any medications. kyung lah, cnn, chanhassen, minnesota. >> thanks so much. stephanie elam is with me here outside paisley park. we know that the autopsy was completed, but in any autopsy, toxicology usually takes quite a long time. but we did learn from the sheriff's office here some information that was quite valuable ruling out a couple of options here today. >> right, that's true. that is with anybody, right? it will take time before we know. though we really want to know why, it helps healing. right? but in this case what we do know is that they don't think there is any foul play.
4:05 am
they don't think that there was any suicide. it didn't look like there was anything out of sorts that we believe was a problem here. one thing that is really interesting about this is that they do believe he was by himself in his compound. >> which is a surprise. this place is huge! >> also, you are talking about a superstar iconic person that has -- his loss is being felt around the world. so the idea that he would just come home by himself almost just seems too normal in some ways. but i did have a conversation with the mayor of chanhassen, where we are right now, yesterday. he says he thinks that part of the reason why prince enjoyed life here is just what you saw in kyung lah's piece. the fact that he could ride his bike around and go to the store and do things that a normal person could do because people here gave him the breathing room to be himself. that's part of the reason why he may have always stayed in minnesota all these years and never left to go someplace else. >> stephanie elam, as we continue to get more information, we'll bring you back in as we try to find out what happened here in those last
4:06 am
final moments. joined now by senior vice president for iheart media and has worked with prince on several projects. zena, good morning to you and thanks for being with us. we any that prince was a private person, so maybe not so surprising to you that he was here by himself the night before he was found here. but what do you think about what we're seeing, this outpouring of grief for prince? >> while i'm very, very shocked, like everybody, at the fact that he's passed, not shocked at all that there's been such a tremendous outpouring of grief and love and appreciation for him. the term "soundtrack to our lives" comes up a lot. while it is a little bit trite, it makes a lot of sense. for many, many people over the course of decades, prince's music was there for really key, important moments in their lives. >> the influence was broad.
4:07 am
when you -- and we have over the past two days now spoken to so many fans who are celebrities themselves, but across several genres. we are talking rock and pop and soul and hip-hop. and we see maybe pieces of his music in theirs. >> oh, absolutely. i don't know that there was a popular artist who has always had such a seemingly effortless time going in between genres. speaking with some friends of mine, kind of an unlikely couple who have been together for years. one is really like a classic rock guy, another is r&b hip-hop. they said, hey, when we moved in together prince was the only artist in our catalogs where there was any commonality whatsoever. >> i've told christi, my co-host here, if there were any artist i would get up from the desk if i heard they were performing at
4:08 am
someplace in town, it would be prince just to see that performance. the performance was not just the music. it was the style. it was the wardrobe. talk more about his influence, not just from the lyrics but fashion in the presentation. >> oh, yeah. i'm going to paraphrase james brown here. james brown, who prince said many times had been such an incredible influence on prince, james brown once said something along the lines of, hey, if you're walking down the street and you saw two theaters across the street from one another, one had a marquee that said the greatest singer of all time, and the other said the greatest entertainer of all time, 99% of people would go -- would appreciate both but go see the greatest entertainer. it was one of the brilliant things about prince. because whereas i maintain that i think that prince was "the" greatest artist of all time on all levels and was an incredible tremendous musician, he had an incredible sense for what made a
4:09 am
performance. yes, unbelievable musician. unbelievable songwriter. unbelievable, all of that. but he knew how to bring it on stage every single time, to the degree that if his band would make a mistake in rehearsal or live on stage, they'd get fined. it was that serious. they'd be fined if they screwed up. i mean his performance was that important to him that it needed to be tight and on point every single time. and fashion and style presentation, big part of that. >> we learned how important the control of his vision and keeping control of that vision was in maintaining the high level of integrity in his music and performances. zena burns, thanks so much for being with us this morning. >> thank you. victor is right, he has said that to me, he would get up and he would walk away from me and leave me stranded on the set if
4:10 am
he had a chance to see prince. just a few moments ago, i want to share something that's happening. president obama taking an emotional question at a town hall in london here. this happened as an audience member who identifies as transgender asked why the u.s. and uk couldn't be more welcoming to lgbt activists. the president said the problem lies with recent state laws. listen. >> i can say from my perspective that we're taking a lot of serious steps to address these issues within the federal government. the challenge we've had is north carolina, the law that comes up, for example, that's a state law. and because of our system of government, i can't overturn on my own state laws unless a federal law is passed that
4:11 am
prohibits states from doing these things. and with the congress i currently have, that's not likely to happen. >> now the president did go on to say as well that no matter what happens with state laws, social attitudes he believes are changing for the better. when we come back, the new and improved side of donald trump. what his campaign is saying about his new image. and ted cruz's strategy as he eyes indiana to stop the gop front-runner. why is indiana so important? it's true what they say. technology moves faster than ever. the all-new audi a4, with apple carplay integration.

4:15 am
when he's talking about the kinds of things he's talking about on the stump, he's projecting an image that's for that purpose. the part that he's played is evolve i evolving that he's been expecting but you weren't ready for. >> ted cruz says trump is telling a few of his own lies. >> in the past 48 hours, donald trump's lobbyists have taken over his campaign an they've gone down and told republican party bosses that everything donald's said on the campaign is just a show, he doesn't believe any of it. >> cnn politics reporter m.j. lee live in waterbury, connecticut where donald trump will hold a rally in a few hours. any indication what we're going to see from a different trump this morning? >> reporter: good morning. well, as we head into the final stretch of the gop primary, the big question is are we about to see a donald trump 2.0. as we herd trump's senior
4:16 am
advisor paul manafort telling reporters this week that trump is about to evolve, that as he gets closer to the nomination he is willing to change his presentation. manafort said that the way that you start a campaign isn't necessarily the best way to end the campaign and it is also worth noting that he also downplayed some of the recent tensions with the rnc saying that as trump gets closer to getting the gop nomination he will work very closely with the party as a united team. now we have seen some signs of the new and maybe softer donald trump in recent days. remember when he won the new york primary in a big way on tuesday, he gave a victory speech that wasn't his usual style. it was very short, it was to the message, and he took a softer tone when talking about his rifle ted cruz, not calling him "lyin' ted" which has become his favorite nickname for ted cruz but just calling him senator cruz. but the next day trump went
4:17 am
right back to calling him lyin' ted. so we'll see today. the room is filling up behind me in waterbury, connecticut as trump supporters come to hear him speak in a few hours. i think we'll see whether we are talking about the old donald trump that's brash and likes to go after his critics or a softer donald trump. ted cruz has really seized on these developments to say that donald trump is basically being a disingenuous candidate. he said that donald trump is basically a new york liberal disguised as a conservative and that voters should not trust what comes out of his mouth. >> m.j. lee, appreciate the update. thank you so much. let's talk to cnn political commentator and trumper jeffrey lord, as well as cruz supporter. what exactly do you know what
4:18 am
this means? all the commotion over this.t i've never met a single human being, not to mention a politici politician, who isn't different and private than the way they are in public. i worked for president reagan. i assure he, you did not walk around the west wing of the white house going mr. gorbachev, tear down that wall. your public personality, particularly when you are a poll ticke politician is always different than your private personality. i don't see what's so different here. is he different in private? well, of course he is. so is everyone i know different than they are -- >> he is, but there is this push to see him be a little softer, a little more presidential. and i want to ask you about the risk to that. because the people that support him like him the way he is. if he makes that shift, is there a risk he is going to lose some of that base? >> yes. yes, there is. i'll tell you this, back before my time, if i may, back in 1948,
4:19 am
in the famous race with thomas e. dewey, supposed to be the overwhelming choice over harry truman, when you read the biographies of the day and look at that, thomas e. dewey didn't play hardball, as it were, didn't do what donald trump is doing with harry truman. truman on the other hand got the nickname "give 'em hell harry." he won in an upset. the american people like to see their candidates be fighters. no matter who they are. they don't want to see them being "presidential." if you are "presidential," at least as this is being defined, you're going to lose the election. mitt romney was the most presidential guy going. >> i wonder do we have this ad that's running in indiana basically saying vote for cruz because he is not trump. do we have that? can we pull that up and can we play that here? okay.
4:20 am
we will try to get that in just a bit. this new ad that's playing in indiana is basically saying vote for cruz because he is not trump. are you going to get a republican in the white house saying vote for this person because he's less essentially evil than the other? >> well, we're going to get a conservative in the white house named ted cruz because he is a conservative. donald trump is a liberal democrat. he's always been that way all of his life and guess what? jeffrey likes to laugh every time i bring this up, but guess what? he laughs because he ha is no answer to that. that is the absolute cold, hard truth. trump has been a liberal democrat all his life. >> just a minute, just a minute, jeffrey. you trump guys like to ph filibuster when anybody disagrees with you. trump came up with this populist spiel when he was running, but
4:21 am
remember romney's campaign manager who said the campaign is like an etch-atch-aen-sketch, w going to shake it and start over. guess with a, trump supporters? you've been lied to! >> there's been a lot of time here in the last several months that donald trump has given ted cruz the moniker of "lyin' cruz." now that ted cruz is pulling that same thing out, is it safe? it is kind of just a he said/he said. no, you're a liar. >> i think there is very objective proof here. the trump campaign is going to the rnc and saying you know what donald trump's saying on the stage? that's really not true. donald trump claimed he was pro life now he says he wants the republican platform on abargs to be warabortion to be watered do. now turning to his supporters
4:22 am
saying i don't like the bathroom bills to allow women and little girls to have privacy in the bathrooms. "i want to raise taxes on the wealthy." well is he channeled his inner bernie sanders here? he's going back to the left the way he's always been. so there's evidence that supports the claim that we have "lyin' donny." >> okay, with 30 seconds, jeffrey, if you want to respond here. >> sure. i just think this is silly. what's happening here -- i continue to say i really do like senator cruz but he's losing. he is going to lose. and so when people lose, they begin to get desperate. that's what's happening here. there's really nothing more to it than that. donald trump won new york state with 60% of the vote. more importantly, ted cruz lost it with only 14.5% of the vote. you can't win the northeastern united states and win a presidential election with 14.5% of the vote. i'm sorry. it just isn't going to happen.

4:28 am
you consider one of the victims was shot and killed while she slept next to her 4-day-old baby. right now officials, at least officially, are not saying who is behind this or why it happened. the search is on for the killer or killers of eight family members in southern ohio. police say most were shot execution style while they slept. >> this is a horrible tragedy that has occurred here in pike county. each one of the victims appears to have been executed. each one of the victims appears to be shot in the head. >> reporter: the seven adults and a 16-year-old boy found dead at four crime scenes, all have been identified as members of the same family. surviving relatives are being warned. police suspect the victims had been targeted but there is no apparent motive. >> right now we have no one in custody. i want to urge everyone to be under the understanding that
4:29 am
there is a strong possibility that any individuals involved with this are armed and extremely dangerous. >> reporter: police say none of the victims appear to have committed suicide. the dead include a mother, killed in bed with her 4-day-old child beside her. that child, along with the 6-month-old and a 3-year-old survived the massacre. >> we talked to a number of the family and their friends. they were actually gathered at a local church about 100 people that we met with. and we expressed directly to them our deepest sympathy for the family. as you can imagine, this is very, very difficult time. >> reporter: the family is well known in the tight-knit community about 90 miles east of cincinnati. toby says he knew one of the victims. >> this is a tragedy that we've never had to go through. we've lost people through car
4:30 am
wrecks and cancer and sudden death for no reason -- hunting accidents. but never like this. >> reporter: i've been talking to the pastor of the family. he called this attack a ruthless attack. he says he's having trouble understanding exactly why or how it all happened. last night the attorney general held a press conference where he says people are being interviewed related to this case but didn't go so far as to call them persons of interest. we're expecting a noon eastern press conference where we'll hopefully get more details. >> i certainly hope so. it is. i'm sitting here by my lonesome this morning at cnn center. my colleague, victor blackwell, is in minnesota. next we are talking about three people facing charges stemming from the flint water crisis. a look at what's ahead for them if they are convicted. but victor, of course, is covering all of the bases there
4:31 am
in minnesota where the honoring of prince is really being felt by people there. you can see it behind him. victor? >> reporter: yeah, i'm right outside of his home and the place where he created a lot of those classics, paisley park. prince was a musical genius. you've heard that phrase over the last 72 hours. we'll talk to a man who toured with the artist to find out how the man was so private and dealt with his life on the road.

breaking news we're following this hour. south korea officials are reporting right now that north korea has launched a missile from a submarine off its eastern coast. it is the latest in a number of missiles the north has launched in apparent response to military drills between u.s. and south korea. south korean joint chiefs of staff says, "south korea's military is on high alert. they're maintaining all provisions against any emergency situations." cnn's paula hancocks is following this story. what are you learning? are are >> reporter: at this point the joint chiefs of staff say it is accused of being a submarine
4:36 am
ballistic missile. we assume it was a success. we have heard nothing from north korea what they believe they've carried out but the militaries are on high alert watching the situation very closely making sure that there are no emergency situations. they say they are ready for anything. of course if it is in fact a success, it would be a significant development for north korea. they've been trying to do this for some time. the benefit of a ballistic missile like this for any military is the fact that if but fire it from a submarine, it is incredibly difficult to track. we know that they've tried a few times already. it's believed to have been a failure in the past according to experts. but this time the fact that joint chiefs of staff have said that they fired what is assumed to be a submarine launched missile is significant. >> north korea isn't shy, paula, about claiming responsibility for these. how long do you think it might
4:37 am
be before we hear from north korea? >> well, considering we know from the south korean side, they believe this happened about an hour and a half ago. i don't think we can expect immediate response from north korea. they tend to take a little time to come out with these announcements. i'm actually watching a news bulletin on north korean television right now and there is no word on this at all. it is just too quick a turnaround for the north korean state-run media. but certainly if they believe it was a success, they will be announcing this. they will be taking credit for this. we're coming up to a very important congress for the north korean leader, kim jong-un. the workers party congress. they haven't had one in more than three decades and this is happening in just a matter of weeks. so for him to be able to go to this congress with potentially a submarine-launched missile, a successful one, under his belt as well, he will be milking this for all it's worth. he will definitely be announcing this publicly.

>> paula hancocks, we appreciate all the information coming to you i know fast and furiously. thank you so much. we will continue to keep you posted as we get more information this morning. ♪ i'm victor blackwell here in chanhassen, minnesota, right outside of paisley park, the home of music icon, prince. some of the fans have now started to come to this location to leave notes and signs, purple balloons, flowers here outside the security gates. more have started to come now that the sun is up here at paisley park. they have a lot of questions, but the major question here -- what happened? of course, that's the question that investigators are working to answer as well. an autopsy we know was performed on prince yesterday. the medical examiner's office says it will not release any
4:39 am
information until all the tests, including toxicology, which could take weeks, are complete. but the sheriff has ruled out suicide, has ruled out at least foul play, saying there were no signs of trauma preliminarily. we know his body was released to his family yesterday. well, now a memorial here at his paisley park compound is growing. it is growing every hour. news of his death is turning the world's landmarks purple. fans across the globe a celebrating his music, his style, and mourning his passing. and musicians we know around the world are reflecting on prince as well. we're hearing from some of those who knew him best. i'm joined now by grammy award nominated saxophonist naji. he toured with prince in the early 2000s. he was a friend and respected colleague of prince. good morning to you. first, if you could just start by telling us, what was it like to be on stage with prince? >> it was surreal.
4:40 am
i can't begin to tell you, every night we were on stage, i couldn't believe i was just looking at a wall of people. i felt as if i was sitting in a fish bowl, if you will. it was just amazing. every night was just amazing to me. >> now we know that he's been described as a perfectionist. put some meat on that for us. what's it like to work with prince, the perfectionist? >> well, i mean, he was -- he was detail oriented, to say the least. i mean when we did rehearsals, there was nothing that went overlook. he might get away with some things in a live show, you couldn't do that with him. every little accident in the mu music hurts. every little line, as a jazz musician to myself it may have seemed very insignificant. but when you understood the total production to be brought to his audience, it made total sense. he lived it to the fullest in terms of perfection when it came
4:41 am
to rehearsal. >> having spent so much time with him on the road, what can you tell us that maybe we haven't heard that an average fan would not know? >> well, i think sometimes when you think about the lifestyle of the industry that we're in, there is a tendency to think that we -- life is just crazy. when you go backstage at his concerts, he was very quiet most of the time. invited guests that came, it wasn't drugs and women and all the things people imagine it would be. the other thing is, i think prince was probably one of the most again with us people, quietly generous people, i have ever met in my life. i had several experiences and stories of he just doing things he probably didn't even realize people like myself were paying attention to. i have to say, probably one of the smartest, one of the most again with us artists i've ever met in my life. >> you mention the atmosphere
4:42 am
backstage. van jones who works at cnn who was a friend of prince, said if you came here to paisley park, there would be no cheeseburgers, you had to get it before you got here. it was vegan and vegetarian at paisley park. we understand you have some performances coming up to. you plan to pay tribute to prince. what's your favorite prince song? >> oh, that's hard to decide. one of the songs he designated for me to play in concert was a song called "god" that he recorded on one of his albums. every night that was one of the songs i played with limb. but tonight we're doing a special tribute to him, a song i recorded with him called "noah's arc" which we will donate to him here in panama city where i'm celebrating my 30th year as solo artist in the industry. >> najee, thank you for spending some time with us this morning. a lot of people at your performance today. we'll look forward to that as
4:43 am

4:47 am
children in it, the people of flint, michigan are seeing officials charged now. charges have been filed against three people, the former flint utilities manager and two officials at the michigan department of environmental quality. michigan's attorney general had strong words for them as the charges were announced. >> they failed michigan families. indeed, they failed us all and i don't care where you live. >> michigan governor rick snyder pledging to stay on the response to the water crisis. >> obviously flint with the water crisis, we're on the ground solving it. i'm committed to getting that done. >> so where do we go moving forward? 2 out of 3 of these men have pled not guilty. do you foresee a trial here or plea deals? >> a trial is certainly possible. i don't think it is going to be so easy to prove that all of these individuals knew exactly what they were doing and committed willful misconduct in office.
4:48 am
but these investigations usually start at the bottom, work their way to the top so i wouldn't be surprised at all if one or more of these individuals who have been charged want to work out a deal with the government. they go in and say, look, i was just doing my job, i reported it to my supervisors all the way up. perhaps to the governor's office. they just told me to do what they told me to do. >> that's my question. a lot of people are calling for the governor to be charged in this as well. there is no evidence at this point that he was involved, but what is the likelihood, when you look at cases like this that the top dog, that the governor in this case, would have absolutely no knowledge of what was happening? >> well, you would expect a governor to know what's going on when there is a change that dramatic on the water supply in flint, michigan. the question is how much did the governor know about the testing, about the evidence that was turned in? was the governor part of some bigger conspiracy to cover up what problem had occurred once they made this decision to change? the state is going to need to find witnesses who can put this
4:49 am
decision in the governor's office and perhaps 1 of the 3 people who have been charged with do that, but right now we don't know. >> how vulnerable is the city and the state in terms of lawsuits here? >> that's a great question. normally governments are immune from this type of lawsuit, because as long as they're doing their job, they can't be sued. but if you can show that there is some criminal activity or some intentional wrongdoing, then all of a sudden they are subject to class action lawsuits, individual lawsuits. and if those lawsuits go forward, the damages here are dramatic. >> we heard from mike gloss gas the director of utilities, basically saying, i'm paraphrasing, look be wi, i was following orders, doing what they told me to do. >> that's not a legal defense. even if somebody tells you to break the law and you break the law, then you've broken the law.
4:50 am
>> based on what we know about this case, is it possible that he did not know he was breaking the law? >> i think that's hard because he knew that the test came back different from what his supervisors were asking him to report. he so i find it impossible to believe that someone with his knowledge, his experience did not know what would happen when he provided these results which were not accurate and not complete. >> appreciate you being here. >> thank you. >> victor, i want to send it back to you there in minnesota. >> thank you so much and here outside of paisley park where prince lived and where he was found dead on thursday, and now after his death because it was such a private person there were many elements of his personality that we did not know, also one thing maybe you did not know about prince that he had game. we'll hear about his skills on the basketball court. that's coming up.

4:55 am
love of the game. >> prince, he loved sports in general. he loved his hometown teams. the viking, the twins, but he was an athlete himself. played sports in junior high and high school and basketball was one of his first loves. check this out. he looked the part. check out this picture from middle school. that's prince. now, he was 5 foot nothing. only 5'2" but he could run up and down that court faster than a little red corvette. cnn spoke to prince's former basketball coach after he learned of prince's passing. >> he was a decent ballplayer. small, quick, played very good defense, was the type of penetrating guard that was -- would get into the middle and pass the ball off very well. wasn't a big scorer. very kind of low key, but he could play the game. he loved it.

5:00 am
you. just about 8:00 on a saturday morning. good morning to you. i'm christi paul. >> reporter: i'm live from minnesota with coverage all morning on the life and legacy of prince, but first we want to go back to atlanta with breaking news out of north korea. thank you very much. the breaking news is that south korea officials are reporting this hour, north korea has launched a missile from a submarine off its coast that is believed to be a submarine launched ballistic missile off the eastern peninsula. it is the latest in a number of missiles that the north has launched. this is not rare, necessarily, remember, in january north korea claimed to have launched a
5:01 am
hydrogen device and is doing so obviously in defiance of u.n. sanctions. the south korean military released this statement. saying south korea's military is on high alert and maintaining all provisions against any emergency situations. cnn's paula hancock is joining us live here. so paula, if i believe this correctly you are in seoul. what are you hearing there this hour? >> reporter: well, at this point, obviously details are fairly scant. what we're hearing from the south korean side is the joint chiefs of staff saying that north korea has fired what they assume is an slbm, this submarine launched ballistic missile. they're not saying whether they consider it a success or a failure. we're hearing nothing from the north korean side. it only happened two hours ago and certainly that would be very quick for the north koreans to
5:02 am
announce this, but if it did appear that it was a success, we can guarantee that they will be announcing this state run media is obviously something we're watching very closely at this point. what we understand is it was off the east coast, the south korean military here is on high alert. they are on a state of readiness for any emergency situations that could arise at this point. but of course, this isn't the first time that north korea has tried to do this. they've tried this submarine launched missile at least a few times. they claimed last year they had done it successfully. there were some suggestions that they had photo shopped photos in november and december when they had also claimed they had successfully done this. there was a suggestion they launched it from the barge rather than the submarine, but if the joint chiefs of staff are saying this could be, that is certainly a development.
5:03 am
>> we appreciate it. it's been what, about 48 hours now since that news came down of the death of his purple highness, prince, of course, and i think it's still very hard. victor blackwell in minnesota there. very hard, victor, for people to wrap their heads around the fact that he's gone. that's something tough to absorb. fans, i think, all of us, just have a really, really tough time thinking about a world without him, don't you think? >> reporter: yeah, absolutely. i mean, we would see prince at awards shows and of course prince was in our ipods and ipads and our iphones and some people still have the vinyl. we've seen people pull out those albums over the last several days that he was omnipresent when the radios turned on,
5:04 am
especially after a certain hour. i'm outside the building here where prince put his genius to work. this is paisley park where he lived, where he performed, where he recorded and sadly on thursday, this is where he died. investigators are now trying to answer the questions surrounding his death, those final days, the final hours. here's what we know so far. prince's autopsy was performed yesterday morning, but the full report we know including toxicology that could take days, maybe weeks to get the final results there. investigators have ruled out suicide. they say there were no signs of trauma. no evidence of foul play. they're promising of course to leave no stone unturned. his body was released to his family yesterday. he was found unresponsive in an elevator. he was 57 years old and as we said just a moment ago it's so difficult for fans who are not only here, but around the world to just come to grips with the idea that prince is no longer
5:05 am
with us. steve knee stephanie is here with us and we're seeing the outpouring of love from fans who have come in from near and far to share a moment out side of this special place. what are you seeing there? what are you hearing? >> reporter: some people would love to come here and they can't. you see that outpouring of love on social media, but for the people who feel like it's worth it to make the journey here to express their joy for prince's music, this is a massive dream catcher that someone has made and it says thank you for making our dreams come true. i spoke to one woman who left 11:00 at night from illinois and got here and she has to go back because her son has a senior prom, but she felt it was worth
5:06 am
it because she loves the music. she wanted to express some love to prince. and you see it throughout here. you broke you are heart, left us too soon. flowers, scarves, obviously what you're seeing is a whole lot of purple. people bringing balloons, there's candles out here, and i've been out here since early friday morning. i can tell you that this memorial continues to grow. people still coming by as soon as the sun comes up. they're coming out to pay their respects to paisley park because he was very much a part of this community here. people would see him out and about and he stayed here his entire life. so that means a lot to these people here, victor. >> yeah, a lot of notes and candles and flowers as she also said. lots of purple over there, his signature color. thank you so much. it was not just the classic songs that drew fans.
5:07 am
people of course will have their favorite tunes, but if you weren't fortunate to see him in concert then you look forward to those award show performances. one of the most iconic is when he hit the stage with a super star in her own right, beyonce for the 2004 grammys. watch this. ♪ >> and right now i'm joined by the man behind the early portion of beyonce's career and the group destiny's child. he's also beyonce's father. so good to have you with us this morning. an incredible moment mr. we've heard a lot about prince, the perfectionist. give us an idea of what went into that performance. take us behind the scenes. >> there were several days of
5:08 am
rehearsal with prince and beyonce. you know, what i learned also is he had a passion for excellence. and he asked that of his entire team. beyonce learned a lot from that performance in 2004 and you can see that even today in her -- the way that she approaches her tours. you know, prince did 39 studio albums. he did 28 tours. so his body of work is truly iconic and he's truly a legend. >> yeah, phenomenal career with so many hits. i mean, it's difficult to list them all off because as the tributes have played on the radio, you hear one that you've forgotten about over the last couple of days, but as a fan as i'm sure you are, what did it feel like as a father to watch your daughter on stage with prince? >> well, you know, beyonce was so excited. she was anticipating that performance and i -- you know, i'd like to say it's the best gram my opening performance
5:09 am
ever, but i was really truly just happy to see -- and prince was such a gentleman and he was really concerned to make sure as a young artist that she had the opportunity to present herself, because she got to do crazy in love and he didn't have to do that. i mean, he could have said i'm prince and we're doing my songs, but he truly was a team player for that. >> yeah, beyonce told giant magazine that she was nervous when she hit the stage with prince. listen to this. >> walking into rehearsals, i just was so overwhelmed and nervous and star struck and he -- he -- we rehearsed every day for an hour for a week instead of rehearsals for six hours the day before and that was so smart. it was prince's idea and i guess he knows people are star struck because he's so amazing and it
5:10 am
was -- it made me really comfortable and by the time it was time to do it, it was like second nature. >> yeah, that's relatable. it's understandable. when anyone goes on stage with prince i would imagine even a huge star like beyonce one would be nervous. what did you feel as you watched it? >> well, i felt the same excitement. prince had a way of connecting with fans that i've never seen before. and again, i think it goes back to his passion and the work ethics that he had. he's truly going to be missed. i tell you what, in those seven days i got to see prince play basketball. this guy can really play basketball. i saw him dunk a basketball at 5'2". that really blew my mind. >> and we're told he played in heels too. >> absolutely. >> i guess at 5'2" you needed to
5:11 am
play in heels with some of the other people you were playing with. thank you for taking us behind that 2004 iconic performance. i'm sure a lot of people agree with you, one of the greatest openings of the gram my awards ever. thank you for being with us. >> thank you and have a great day. >> we're seeing more people here to paisley park. some of them leaving notes, some of them leaving balloons and a few just taking a moment of silence thinking back on maybe some great memories, some of the great concerts and performances they remember from this decades long career of a man who has earned this title of icon, of legend here at paisley park. >> all right. victor, thank you so much. ahead, a man hunt underway in ohio after a family of eight was murdered execution style. police say the gunman is on the

rsm. audit, tax and consulting for the middle market. welcome back. i'm victor black. this is where prince lived, where he created, where he performed and tragically where he died on thursday. an illustrious career that spanned decades and of course the height was in the 1980s and consider this. after purple rain came out prince had in number one album, the number one song and the number one movie all at the same time. but after that he didn't move to hollywood or new york. he stayed right here in minnesota and that's a testament to his hometown. and a reflection on the city that my next guest leads. with me now is the mayor.
5:16 am
he joins me now. we understand everybody calls you mayor denny and it's good to have you here this morning. >> welcome. >> it's good to be here, unfortunately for this tragic loss. i want you to tell me about, what is it like to have prince as a neighbor? >> well, i speak on behalf of the people who live here who encountered him many, many times in the normal course of their day. seeing him ride a bike on our trails or going to the grocery store. yes, he was a superstar but he was treated with respect and he was valued as a member of this community for more than 30 years. >> cnn has that video just days before his death riding his bike at a local shopping center here. how common was that? >> when he was in town he did that often. he wasn't always here, but when
5:17 am
he chose to come back to perhaps relax or rest or just -- maybe he was getting ready for a production set of some sort, he would often be seen in the community and his contribution goes more than just being seen. he was a very generous man and he has made contributions to the schools here. in fact, as i took the office of mayor i thought often about what can i do to honor prince and i thought of the possibility of giving him a key to the city and i failed to reach that -- that event, however, in retrospect now, he may end up giving us a key to his inner world at paisley park. i've been in touch with his family and representatives over the last couple of days and they're interested in talking about what they can do to create a lasting tribute right here in chanhassen. so we'll be open to those wishes
5:18 am
obviously. >> are there any suggestions on what will happen to paisley park? >> we're hearing from many people in the industry, fans around the world, even yesterday morning i spoke with two young girl from the area. they were sitting on the curb and i asked them what they were drawing and i said, if you were mayor, what would you do to help memorialize prince and his career? and they both unanimously said, why don't you make paisley park a museum? and for us to know him as such a private person that nobody has -- or few people have been inside paisley park, the fact that it could possibly be opened up to the world, i think that would be a great gesture, but again, we'll listen carefully to what the family and the representatives want to do. >> and i think it may be difficult for people at home to appreciate the size of paisley park. when we say this is a compound, we're not just saying that because there were, you know, this was a performance space, a recording space and a home.
5:19 am
it is quite a large, impressive building so it would be great if people were to be able to see what's inside and of course here, the music is in this vault as it's called and we know you'll be working with the family for any memorials that will be coming and here to the city of about 25,000 people, i understand, of chan hassen, minnesota. thanks so much for being with us this morning. >> thank you, victor. >> this is something we're seeing as the day gets on. we get into the later hours of the morning, more people are coming here, leaving their flowers and notes and just in a way saying thank you to prince for providing so many great memories over to many decades. >> you have to know that's what his family loves to hear, people saying thank you to him because he was such a big part of so many lives. a ohio town is on edge

gunned down eight members of a family as they slept. this is a small town east of cincinnati. we're live there this morning. nick, what are you hearing from investigators so far? >> reporter: good morning, christi. it was a ruthless attack. eight members of one family shot and killed execution style in what appears to be a targeted attack. perhaps the most disturbing part of all of this, one of the victims was shot and killed while she laid next to her 4-day-old baby. police are warning members of the rohden family to take precaution throughout the day. the search is on for the killer or killers of eight family members in southern ohio. most were shot execution style while they slept. >> this is a horrible tragedy that has occurred here in pike county. each one of the victims appear to have been executed, each one of the victims appears to be shot in the head.
5:25 am
>> reporter: the seven adults and a 16-year-old boy found dead at four crime scenes. all have been identified as members of the rohden family. surviving relatives are being warn, police suspect the victims had been targeted. >> right now, we have no one in custody. i want to urge everyone to be under the understanding that there is a strong possibility that any individuals involved with this are armed and extremely dangerous. >> reporter: police say none of the victims appear to have committed suicide. the dead include a mother, killed in bed with her 4-day-old child beside her. that child along with a six month old and a three-year-old survived the massacre. >> we talked to a number of the family and their friends. actually they were gathered at a local church about 100 people that we met with, and we expressed directly to them our
5:26 am
deepest sympathy for the family and as you can imagine, this is a very, very difficult time. >> reporter: the family is well known in the tight knit community about 90 miles east of cincinnati. toe by knew one of the victims. >> this is a tragedy we've never had to go through. we've lost people through car wrecks and cancer and sudden death, hunting accidents, but never like this. >> reporter: i was talking to the pastor of the roden family. he describes one of the victims, dana roden as a nice, hardworking person. she was a parishioner at his church until recently she stopped showing up. the attorney general saying there's no clear motive for this shooting saying there are people being interviewed for this case but he would not go so far to call them persons of interest. >> all right. thank you so much.

and we have much more coming up for you on the death of prince, something that is everybody is still talking about. victor is in minnesota this morning. he's outside paisley park. fans are still streaming in to pay their respects. give us a sense of the energy that's there right now. >> reporter: there is a feeling of reverence coming here. yes, prince was a performer. he was a pop star, but for a lot of people here in chanhassen he was a neighbor. he's lived here in this community for a very long time. they're coming here, taking pictures, lining the fence outside this compound. there is a steady flow of people who have come here to say thank you for some of the great times over the years. we're going to come back in just a moment with more about prince. he was a very private person, but we'll take a look at what's being done to protect his copyrights and of course, his legacy. when "new day" continues.

duke and dutchess of cambridge and met prince george and he is now on his way to germany. officials at the palm beach zoo now say a trainer killed by a tiger broke rules when she entered the big cat's area. she entered the sleeping quarters after the felines were given access. apparently that violates zoo policy. she was the lead keeper there. the 13-year-old tiger was tranquilized after the attack and is still at the zoo. and the atf is looking for thieves who took 32 cases of fireworks from a freight train. investigators say they were stolen wednesday from a train north to detroit from chicago. they believe the fireworks were taken while the train was stopped in ohio. the atf says they don't have a motive but they emphasized the explosives are extremely dangerous because these are commercial grade fireworks. these are not for home use. i was watching an interview
5:33 am
that prince had given to larry king, victor, who is in minnesota in front of paisley park there and i was struck with him when he said i wanted to make my music -- i wanted my music to speak the loudest for me basically is what he said and i swear, within minutes, there were so many radio stations playing only prince music for hours on end. do you see anybody there who is coming with head phones who is maybe listening to some of his music as well? >> reporter: yeah, i'll tell you, anecdotely the engineers running the live shots, there are of course cameras lining the road here and on the walk in today there were people playing prince songs as we came in. prince was on the radio yesterday. people were listening to prince and talking about him at the airport as i was flying in. as you in to the airport you can see the purple lights over the
5:34 am
buildings in downtown. there is an outpouring of love, not just here in this immediate community, but around the world. and now people are waiting for answers about the death. and how did this happen, why did this happen? let's reset with what we know about the investigation now. the body is now in the custody of his family. it was released after officials wrapped up the initial autopsy. now, there were very few answers guc gwen out at this stage. first, no signs of suicide but we also know the toxicology results could take weeks to complete. for now though, authorities are trying to find out what happened between 8:00 p.m. on thursday night, that's when he was last seen alive dropped off here alone at paisley park and 9:00 or 10:00 a.m. when he was found alone collapsed in that elevator. now, for prince, perhaps the only thing as important as his music was control over the
5:35 am
content, over the direction, over the creativity, the creative process. control over his image, the sound and name and songs and he fought for that control from the first moments as an artist. here's jason carroll with more on that. >> he burst on the music scene as a teenager in the late '70s and from the beginning he rebelled against the industry. he turned down his first contract offer because he wouldn't have creative control. >> i don't consider it proper that my creations belong to someone else. i -- i can go up to a little kid on the street and say, do you know that i don't own "purple rain" and they're apalled by that. prince's semiautobiographic cal

5:37 am
>> and how did people react to you when they did see it? >> well, the record company didn't really say too much. >> reporter: the battle with his label so intense, prince eventually changed his name to a symbol, impossible to pronounce. husband fans referred to him as the artist formerly known as prince. >> was the name change some sort of way of having some sort of control over his art and who he is? >> prince was eccentric or whether they were actual legal way to try to get around -- to get out of his contract isn't really clear. >> just about two years ago prince and warner brothers finally settled their differences. he returned to the label after some 18 years and while the financial terms were not disclosed, prince we gained ownership of his catalog and of course his name. but he still battled the industry he called exploited. last summer, prince with drew his music from all streaming

5:52 am
contests on the same day. those states are connecticut, delaware, maryland, rhode island and of course the big prize is in pennsylvania where there are 71 republican delegates up for grabs. now, trump is generally expected to do quite well in all of those states based on polling that we've seen and also based on how he has tended to do in similar east coast states, but of course, trump is not taking anything for granted. he is campaigning in the state of connecticut today. just behind me he will take the stage in about an hour or so. we are here in a high school in connecticut. something else i wanted to mention, another very big important day is on may 3rd. that is when the gop primary will take place. 57 delegates are up for grabs and he does currently have a lead, but at this point in the race, as you know, no delegate is too much to pass up and trump needs to pick up every single delegate that he can. >> very true.
