From SkyNews ...

"Entertainment news website TMZ has reported that 'multiple sources' informed them that Prince had been treated for a drug overdose six days ago.

TMZ reported that the pop star's jet made an emergency landing 48 minutes from its destination and at the time, Prince's representatives said it was due to the 57-year-old suffering from the flu.

However, TMZ were informed them that the emergency landing was because Prince needed to be hospitalised, where he was administered a 'save shot.'

The injection is ordinarily used to counteract the effects of opiates for people being treated for a drug overdose, TMZ reported that the Purple Rain singer left the hospital early and he was 'not doing well'."

They are now saying it was an (unconfirmed) Percocet overdose - i.e. prescription pain killers. And band mates have confirmed he had been looking very pale and unwell for a few weeks.
