One never really knows what is in a persons heart.

He may have been all those things, or he may have been a really special person, I have no idea.

Folks I know who are real musicians seem to have a lot of respect for his musical abilities. Once again, not my kind of music so I cannot say.

I can say his music did not have stuff that struck me as satanic, like some modern popular female singers. He was a devot, in some way, which meant he was searching for truth in a higher power.

He certainly had a stable of very good cute girls, some of which he married and some of which he did not. Interestingly they do have a certain look, as if he had a type, which matches most guys I know. As such I doubt he was a fudge packer or packee.

Twice divorced, one dead kid and one miscarriage might have had an effect on him, I would not be so quite to judge him harshly. His inability to form a lasting relationship might have been very painful in his waning years.

In any case it is not in our hands to judge the man...but a higher power.

This guy was a nothing, IMO. He was on cocaine and ordered it in $40,000 bundles, IMO. He was a raving homo, IMO . He had Aids and died of Cocaine IMO. You want your children to emulate this decadent? He was so doped up he should have named the song “ purple BRAIN’ . Move the heck on. RIP.

Forensics won't be back for a month or more. You know all this from what sources?

Prefacing every one of your sentences with "IMO" doesn't let you off the hook from speaking ill of the dead. Neither does your RIP.

Prine’s friend Vanity died in Feb of this year from drug use from the 1980’s. It caused kidney failure. Prince may have gotten from someone be it man or women the aids virus as there was a lot of drug use they both engaged in.

Literacy is your friend, WENDLE. If one practices it enough, the ability to comprehend what was written often improves. Literacy also provides facts; they are useful if one wants to actually know something about the subject when spouting opinions.

BTW he first name of “Prince” was ... Prince.

In any case it is not in our hands to judge the man...but a higher power.

Thank you Frederick303 for your voice of reason and compassion.

WENDLE’s source is IMO

[Velvet_Jones]

He lost 5 stone in weight? 5 stone is about 70 pounds, right?

I call BS right there. I’ve seen Prince in concert a bunch of times, sometimes in small venues. I was fairly close to him. He was 5’ 2” or 5’ 3” tall AT MOST, he looks like he weighed about 110, maybe 120 if he was really muscular. There wasn’t enough of him to lose 70 pounds.

BS.

Eldon Shamblin was better than both those guys put together

[cincinnati65]

Have to admit, that was my first thought when they said he had been battling “pneumonia”......

[wardaddy]

Poor guy
Scared

I know from a first hand source I trust he liked pretty boys and men

Maybe he was trying to resist the impulse or he admired women or wanted to procreate

But he sure gave off gay tells to me and the person I know who saw him in action I’d never ever question her veracity

No way she’d make it up

[mplsconservative]

Female here with great gaydar. Supernatural even. :)
Prince did lots of video posting where I worked in the 80’s. Always had Kim Basinger with him in those days. Not gay!

It may have been for palliative care.

Is that how it works with Jehovah's Witnesses? They can do pain management but that's it? I really don't know much about them.

[Slyfox]

An industry source interviewed by The National Enquirer messaged friends on April 19 to share that the singer was suffering from the disease.

An unnamed source will not identify themselves and they "messaged friends" and somehow NE picks it up?

Well, alrighty then.

[berdie]

Actually, Prince was not from my era, but I respected his talent. In a later post you reference Hendrix. He is my era but is not my fav...but still an excellent musician.

I find that most artists (musicians, writers, artists, dancers, actors, what have you) are pretty tortured people. They cut off their ears, take drugs and have generally bizarre and tortured lives. It's almost like the good Lord gives them this gift but takes their common sense and stability.

I don't know that any thing you said has any validation.
Nor does anyone.

I am just happy beyond belief that I have no extraordinary talent...just a lot of stability.

Jehovah witnesses do see doctors and use medicines. It is Christian Scientists who forego doctors and medicines.

[little jeremiah]

I also know someone with some connections previous to same circle and says bi. Person I know is not bi or homo.

[smalltownslick]

Combination of the two and not understanding why it’s a problem.

[dp0622]

Then the article’s a lie? i believe you as i dont know any and what you know is more than me.

[trebb]

“Doctors told Prince his blood count was unusually low and that his body temperature had dropped dangerously below the normal 98.6 degrees to 94 degrees.

That statement alone makes me think that the article ain't based on all the facts. My temp averages 94 - 95 degrees. 98.6 is just a very broadly general "norm"

[Jack Hammer]

That would answer a great many questions.
