Pop legend Prince has been released from hospital after a health scare forced his private jet to make an emergency landing.

The US singer was rushed to hospital by ambulance after his jet made an unscheduled landing in at Quad City airport in Moline, Illinois around 1am local time.

Initial conflicting reports suggested the chart topper was "not doing well", however a spokesman for the singer told TMZ he has been discharged and is now recovering at home.

He had been suffering from the flu for several weeks, his rep said.

The hitmaker behind Little Red Corvette, Purple Rain and When Doves Cry is one of the highest selling artists of all time, having sold more than 100 million albums.

He completed an Australian east coast tour in February.
