"We knew it was only a matter of time; we had to get down," Hill said of the emergency landing. Less than a week before music icon Prince died at 57, the singer's private plane made an emergency landing in Illinois after he lost consciousness on the trip back from a concert in Atlanta. Hill and Prince had been talking over dinner, when she watched as Prince's eyes "fixed," and he slipped into unconsciousness. Prince was then taken to the hospital, and by the time he got there, Hill said he was alert and talkative. Aboard the plane was the singer's close friend and protégée, 32-year-old singer Judith Hill, who opened up to The New York Times about being one of the few people on the aircraft.
