Apparently he had hip problems and got hooked on painkillers.

I was reading in the WSJ just now that he needed to replace both hips (the dancing in the high heels thingee), and wouldn't do it unless the operation was bloodless (no blood transfusions for Jehovah's Witnesses).

He continued to do the high heels dancing, but it was apparently painful.

“Apparently he had hip problems and got hooked on painkillers.”

Damn, the pain killers. Around 6 years ago I wrecked my shoulder in a bike crash. Lots of pain and no ability to sleep as laying down was the most painful position. Took pain killers for a while and then flushed them just when I started to crave them.

The pain in the shoulder lasted for more than a year, but it was better than slipping into addiction.

coudl be- saw a video of soem dude that worked with him and prince was limping a bit- the dude asked what was wrong, and he said ‘nothing- just a knee issue-’ or something along that line

It anti hard getting addicted to pain meds- was on hydrophone for about 3 years- it started getting to be a pain trying ot get prescriptions because of all the new regulations, so i went cold turkey and quit smoking at same time...... WOW! it was hell on earth- for about 6 weeks- I didn’t even realize i was that addicted to them- You just get used to being doped up I guess- and don’t realize how doped up you really are- Opioids are an awful drug- except i n extreme cases of pain I suppose- MOST people aren’t in extreme pain though- and neither was i- while they did help with what pain i had, I certainly wasn’t chairbound because of severe pain- Wish i had never started them really-
