consumed by drugs? was that actually reported by reputable sources?
I find that that hard to believe, but the truth will come out. He was one of the greatest, without a doubt.
Yes , he was known to be a Vegan and lead a very healthy life but was treated
for an overdose a few days before but left the hospital early cause they didn't
have a private room for him. He was a little better doing the concert the next day
but took a turn for the worst again. TMZ said the strongly disbelieve he died from
the flu.
There waiting for a toxicology report, but its already been leaked by personal
staff he was treated for an overdose.
Thanx for this, Rich...it's so great to see a performer in love with his art.
Rest in peace, Prince
Aids is the going rumor. And he stopped taking the drugs that stifled the symptoms.
He was a Jehovah's Witness, for whatever it's worth.

You would be correct as it went against his religious beliefs. They suspect he's had aids since the late 80s early 90's. I think he overdosed to put an end to it.
Why so impatient everyone? Why do we have to guess? Is it fun? Can't we just let the autopsy tell us?
No, it's not fun and yes those are the facts by the media.
TMZ is the media....sad, when CNN says the autopsy is being conducted right now.
CNN, had TMZ on there show to get the scoop. I guess CNN is trash also?TMZ is entertainment news, Prince being an entertainer is what they specialize in.
Ask yourself this question, how is it possible to obtain someone else's confidential medical records?
One of Princes crew said a few things about what was going on and
hospital personnel always leak alot of crap when theres a celebrity present.
Its all bull...they're trying to grab 15 seconds of fame.
There still waiting for the toxicology report but when he was treated for the
initial overdose , it was for taking perks.
I sent that link to my son in St. Paul MN, who is, among other things, a professional level musician. He answered me back with the following email...quite a story behind that session!
Hey Dad
It’s really cool you sent that to me… I’ve actually seen it dozens of times. The awesome thing about that particular performance is that theres a story behind it…
George Harrison’s wife actually didn’t want Prince there because he didn’t really know him, and she thought the people at GH’s memorial should all be people he used to hang out with. Prince literally showed up and begged to play because he had ALWAYS wanted to play a gig with Tom Petty. Nothing to do with George Harrison haha… The way Prince looks at Petty the whole time like this hero, then he completely blindly falls backwards off the stage and get caught at the last minute all during a rip-shit guitar solo. It’s fun to watch all the other musicians onstage just in awe of Prince.
Eric Clapton was once ask what it was like to be the greatest guitar player alive. He said “Go ask Prince.”
He was one of my heroes and it’s pretty amazing to see the actual impact he had on the world… The Eiffel Tower is purple. Google is purple. The whole city of Minneapolis is purple. What a loss.
Love you Pops talk to you soon!

I'm a jazz lover and bit of a collector. A documentary on my favorite group The (Jazz) Crusaders was rumored to be produced in the future by Prince. I would have loved to have seen that.
I was not fan of Prince but he will be missed.
