Prince Dead at 57

[Yarddog]

He was a drug addict. He was a great musician, loved animals, seemed to be a decent human being. But..he was a drug addict. You do not "reward" an addict with putting him on a bank note.

Do you seriously think someone is seriously talking about putting Prince on a bank note?

Maybe a postage stamp

Ass tattoo?

What a super talented guy. I hope it wasn't drugs but it is seeming more likely. Lots of great music, wow. Michael, Whitney and Prince gone too soon.

Just guessing but it sounds more like a reaction to a combination of flu drugs and pain killers, really. Mixing stuff up can cause all kinds of havoc.

When I find out someone is religious I become more suspicious not less. Wasn't Michael a jehova? And he was addicted to prescription drugs. Guys like Prince might not do heroine or coke but pain killers yes

My mother has had two hip replacements. She was in agony for years before it got so bad she finally had the surgeries.

You just want to perpetuate your sociopathic hatred of Xians, that's all.

Grow up.

I think I heard last night one of my buddies confirmed Prince was a drug addict. Something about pacing outside a CVS waiting for his prescription to be filled.

Let's analyze this. I wouldn't be happy to know he died because of prescription or any other drugs. That would be tragic. But either way he died too young.

But if he died because of drugs that's going to spark a national conversation that's already happening but it will get more attention. I know too many people who get refill after refill of vicitan and oxy and percs. We have a legal drug industry but what they are doing shouldn't be legal. People who don't need drugs are being given drugs. And some of them sell them to other people who don't need them. If you need more than one bottle you need to be in a hospital.

 

[Katzndogz]

Doctors have no way of knowing that their patients are augmenting their prescriptions with street drugs.

Doctors might want to start using routine blood screenings just to check.

 

[sealybobo]

Not so sure it was from any 'bad' lifestyle, but we'll see when the reports come in....

Close followers of Prince find it hard to believe that anything sinister could have played into his death. He was a Jehovah’s Witness and obsessively healthy eater. You couldn’t drink, smoke or even curse at his Paisley parties.


Clues to the Mystery of Prince’s Final Days

Clues to the Mystery of Prince’s Final Days 1 / 27

© Alex Brandon/AP Photo MINNEAPOLIS — The 1988 Dassault Falcon 900 was about an hour into its flight from Atlanta in the wee hours of Friday, April 15, when the pilot made a distress call to air traffic controllers in Chicago.

There was a medical emergency on board. A male passenger was unresponsive.

And so the Chicago airport officials diverted the flight for an emergency landing in Moline, Ill., just 48 minutes from its intended destination of Minneapolis.

As it turned out, the flight was carrying the musical genius Prince, who, a week later, would be found dead, collapsed in an elevator on the first floor of his suburban Minneapolis compound.

“We had an emergency unscheduled landing at 1:35 a.m. on April 15 for a medical emergency for an unresponsive person,” said Jo Johnson, the human resource manager for Quad Cities International Airport in Moline.

It remains unclear what caused Prince, 57, to become unresponsive on the flight last week. His publicist has attributed the crisis to the fact that the entertainer was “fighting the flu.”

But officials investigating Prince’s sudden death said Friday that the plane’s emergency landing, and what caused it, would be part of their sweeping inquiry.

Prince spent only a few hours at a Moline hospital before his private jet flew home here, and the entertainer resumed life at his compound in nearby Carver County. Just days before his death, he attended a show at a local jazz club, and playfully showed off his new piano and guitar at a party at his studio.

As law enforcement officials await the complete results of an autopsy performed Friday, they said they would be reviewing local pharmaceutical records as part of a broad effort to understand Prince’s full medical history. They declined to comment on reports that Prince had been taking pain medication, saying the investigation was continuing.

“This is a tragedy for all of us,” said Jim Olson, the sheriff of Carver County, where Prince’s estate, Paisley Park, was located in the town of Chanhassen. “To you, Prince Rogers Nelson was a celebrity. To us, he was a community member and a good neighbor.”

Prince was last seen alive at about 8 p.m. on Wednesday evening when someone dropped him off at his estate, where he lived alone, Sheriff Olson said during the afternoon news conference.

Unable to make contact with Prince on Thursday morning, Paisley Park staff members went looking for him in the sprawling compound. They found him unresponsive in an elevator and called 911 at 9:43 a.m., Sheriff Olson said.

“The person is dead here,” a male caller told the dispatcher, according to a transcript of the 911 call. Later, the caller added, “And the people are just distraught.”

Medics responding to the home could not resuscitate Prince, who was pronounced dead at 10:07 a.m. Thursday, Sheriff Olson said. He was not sure, he said, how long Prince, dressed in a shirt and pants, had been collapsed in the elevator.

There were no obvious signs of injuries, and Sheriff Olson said the death was not believed to be a murder or a suicide. Officials said the body had been released to Prince’s family but that it may be weeks before any details from the autopsy are released. Before that, further tests need to be completed and the medical history must be compiled.

There remain many questions around Prince’s health. Sheila E, a friend who collaborated with Prince, said during an interview with ABC’s “Good Morning America” that the star did have hip problems from his performances onstage. He has said in interviews that he struggled with epilepsy as a child.

The mystery of the end of Prince’s life has left is vast legion of supporters measuring their shock.

As they wait for answers, fans around the world grieved and celebrated his life with the frenetic energy with which Prince lived it — with dance parties and widespread tributes, from social media posts to impromptu Broadway performances.

Here in his hometown, the famed First Avenue dance club held a free overnight dance party from Thursday into Friday, with more scheduled through the weekend. Makeshift memorials popped up outside of the club and in front of Paisley Park.

Billboards encouraged residents to wear purple, a major bridge was lit in the color and a purple orchid with a note that read “Rest In Peace Prince” lay on the four-seat table of the intimate Dakota Jazz Club where Prince sat when he attended a show there on Tuesday.

“It’s a very somber moment here, but his legacy will live on,” Kinneva Brown said as she visited Paisley Park on Friday.

Those who knew him and saw him in his final days said the master showman betrayed no sign that he was near death.

With his Afro picked out, Prince hopped on stage before about 300 revelers last Saturday — the night after his emergency landing in Moline — at one of the pop-up parties he was famous for throwing at Paisley Park. He banged out a quick performance of “Chopsticks” on his new purple piano, Scott Lawrence, who was in attendance with his son, said.

He then broke out a new purple-and-gold Gus Guitar, placing it on the piano and then moving away.

“It’s too cool to open up,” Prince joked, according to Mr. Lawrence.

But the cross-genre star also offered a few accidentally prescient words, Mr. Lawrence recalled.

“Wait a few days before you waste your prayers,” he told the crowd, referring to reports of his medical emergency from the previous day.

Close followers of Prince find it hard to believe that anything sinister could have played into his death. He was a Jehovah’s Witness and obsessively healthy eater. You couldn’t drink, smoke or even curse at his Paisley parties.

“Better eat your cheeseburger before you get to Paisley,” Van Jones, a political commentator and activist who was a friend of Prince’s, said he used to think before visiting Prince.

Last Saturday, Prince stopped by Electric Fetus, a Minneapolis record store, and bought about half a dozen CDs, said Bob Fuchs, the retail manager. Prince had been coming to the store for 30 years, Mr. Fuchs said, and nothing on this visit seemed out of the ordinary.

“Thanks for your support,” Mr. Fuchs recalled telling Prince, referring to something the musician had been helping the store with. “He smiled and said ‘Hello’ and ‘You’re welcome.’”

“He looked very alert and well dressed,” Mr. Fuchs added. “He seemed the same old. I did not think anything about the way he looked. Nothing suggested to me anything different.”

Prince was whacked because he was no longer bringing in big bucks and he was outspoken. His body is barely cold and AMC just announced that it is going to re-release "Purple Rain" on the big screen to cash in...people will be buying up his music after he had been off the radar for awhile...reminds me of the death of Robin Williams and Michael Jackson when their star had dimmed....people wax nostalgic and run to the stores to buy up their works which brings in big bucks....yep, something stinks here in Denmark, friends and neighbors.

Who gets Prince's fortune? Who owns all his songs?

That will depend on his will, if he had one. There are stories (rumors) that his estate could get really messy. It's a shame if it does.

He has no history of drug abuse, and that is just a rumor. There is no evidence at all that any of these rumors are truths.

Its really sick how all the people come out of the woodwork and from under the rocks to get attention in the media after someone's death. And then there are those who do it while alive.

The media seems to think it can't survive without digging up dirt & smut on everyone. I'm not saying Prince was squeaky clean, or that drugs didn't play a part in his death.....but I think they like making up stories for the profits they bring. But I guess that's more the publics fault for buying into it. Personally, I'd rather wait for the official versions.

Because he doesn't have kids I don't care who gets the money. I'd love to use half his money to pay off the debt or put in the social security fund.

If he didn't have a will he clearly didn't give a shit about his next of kin.

Wow, a very touching interview with Van Jones about his relationship with Prince and Prince's less-known side:

There you go.... instead of doing anything useful with the money, or helping people, or building a business that would create wealth and provide jobs.... give it to government. There you go. Not enough payback for political supporters of Hillary. She'll need the money.

 

[Boss]

But if he died because of drugs that's going to spark a national conversation that's already happening but it will get more attention. I know too many people who get refill after refill of vicitan and oxy and percs. We have a legal drug industry but what they are doing shouldn't be legal. People who don't need drugs are being given drugs. And some of them sell them to other people who don't need them. If you need more than one bottle you need to be in a hospital.

Well... We didn't have the conversation after Hendrix died, or Janis Joplin, or Elvis Presley, or Gram Parsons, or Kurt Cobain, or Michael Jackson.... why are we suddenly going to have it now? And what sort of conversation do you want to have? You want fascist-socialist big government in our medicine cabinets now? Are we going to lose more freedom because of your knee-jerk reactionism?

 

[JustAnotherNut]

What a super talented guy. I hope it wasn't drugs but it is seeming more likely. Lots of great music, wow. Michael, Whitney and Prince gone too soon.

Just guessing but it sounds more like a reaction to a combination of flu drugs and pain killers, really. Mixing stuff up can cause all kinds of havoc.

My mother has had two hip replacements. She was in agony for years before it got so bad she finally had the surgeries.

There is a big difference between prescription drug use and abuse. Apparently you haven't had to live in a lot of pain to realize some meds only do so much on their own and additional meds may be needed in order to function at some level on a daily basis.
Prince may well have been 'pacing outside a CVS' but it doesn't mean he was 'a drug addict' as you imply. He could have been in a hurry & impatient, he could have been in extreme pain from his hip problems & the motion of walking may have helped in some way. Just because he was on prescription pain meds, doesn't mean he was a drug abuser like some cheap street freak

They are just like a rumor mill. Lol.

 

[ChrisL]

Worse than a bunch of little old church ladies.

 

[JustAnotherNut]

Worse than a bunch of little old church ladies.

I could understand 'lil ol church ladies' talkin chit about someone like Prince......I can even agree to disagree over personal opinion of the man or appreciation of his work or talent.......but what I have a hard time with is when people choose to jump to conclusions, believe the worst of rumors without any solid facts to back them up....ya know, like an autopsy and official reports from investigations...things like that.

And as far as 'drugs' go...just because he was on prescription pain killers for hip problems doesn't mean he's addicted. Although I will agree it is POSSIBLE, but I won't go so far as to say he actually WAS without further factual information.

AND just because someone is on multiple pain killers doesn't mean they need hospitalization or that they are addicts. Yes some pharma & DR's do over prescribe and create 'addicts', but there are many that are in real need of them also.

 

[rcfieldz]

I still think the guy , Prince, was stupid. At least for trying to control his own media. I think that artists and groups who allow freedom of speech on the internet are only helping their fame. Unless it's a breakdown or drunken tirade. But the way Prince has effectively stopped postings of his songs and live performances doesn't make him into anything but an artist with a socialistic view in my opinion. So to the musical obscurity bin he goes.
Prince who?

 

[tigerred59]

What truly breaks my heart is he like Michael, like all these black men, that found love in white skin....and I love Prince don't get me wrong....all died ALONE!! Michael died with paid help by his side and the Prince died alone in his home. A sister would have been there to the end and perhaps could have saved BOTH!! We don't leave money....money leaves us!!

 

[Andylusion]

I just can't get into anything pop culture. Who cares? It's like movies. I mention a movie I liked, and people go "on the one with so-and-so?"... and I sit there.. I have no idea.... It was a good flick. I couldn't care less who was in it. I don't pay attention to these people. Who has time to follow the entire life story of every idiot on stage? Who has time for that? Don't you have families or something? Kids? Job? Things to do with your wife or something?

But ... you don't have to go out of your way to follow them or know about them.

You drive your car and they are playing on the radio....you watch TV their music is there... in a restaurant a party there you can hear their music....everywhere in the background

It's something that goes parallel to your life ...to the experience of living, so to speak.


And I for one, is glad it is that way.

It is not so much everyone but those who truly influence an industry or a genre. The fascination is in the growth of the person and their art and talent. If you are not into this sort of stuff not a big deal. If a person is then it is a wonderland.

Death knows no color. Prince had the best money could buy by his side. No one can escape their fate.
