    What a lovely genuine lady Sheila E is. I've always thought that her and Prince were a perfect couple. It's a shame that they broke up but great that they stayed good friends. They both shared a passion for music and both had a lot of respect for each other.

    He was so committed to his ART. His life was ART and it reflected in his presence and well being. He did not show off his material items for gain or fascination. He tried to help others with his gift and by doing that he did what he was put here to do. I hope Sheila E. the best as she comes to terms with his demise from this life and I hope she knows she will get to meet him again one day if she is faithful.

Crossing over to the other side is not the end it is where we came from & returning is a great joy because all the BS we endured here is gone, no pain, none just joy !

      I understand. My parents are both deceased. My mom passed of bone cancer back in 1988. My dad just 5 years ago this June. There are others too. Prince is the only celebrity that's impacted me in a big way since his passing (I'm sure for many others too) than even Michael Jackson or any of the others, although David Bowie is pretty close.

    Pain killed Prince. His out of control physical pain led to an accidental overdose. I had a doctor once say to me that nobody ever died from pain - but he was wrong. I had been told by specialists almost ten years earlier that I was 100% guaranteed to never see my 30th birthday. I was also told I would die in a particularly painful manner, most likely around the age of 25 years old. They were correct. What they described happened exactly as they described, except that I was in my 27th year of life. I was on zero pain medication at that time, and had never taken pain medicine. My pain was so severe - relentlessly night and day, that I could no longer sleep. It was so bad I could no longer eat. I couldn't.sit upright to drive. Normal everyday tasks such as taking a shower was too painful. Finally, I couldn't bear the pain even while laying down. What seemed like a miracle, but was in truth a recent surgical advancement, ultimately saved my life. But I was so sick from the severe pain that my body was in that I could no longer fight infections, even though connected to IV antibiotics 24/7. I could no longer sleep whatsoever and was a zombie. I was severely underweight. I looked like I was fighting a deadly disease and losing the battle - which I was. My health problem isn't fixable and will still kill me one day. People need to know and comprehend that these genuine medical dilemmas exist, especially those working in the field of medicine. There are no answers sometimes, for some types of health problems, and severe physical pain. Medicine just has it's limits.

    No stupid rumours will convince me that he died of an intentional drug overdose. If an overdose occurred I believe it was an accident. Why are so many people hell bent on tarnishing his reputation? And I also believe his cause of death (despite me being very curious) should be kept private if that is what his loved ones want. Prince gave so much of himself to us for so long that i think he earned this right to privacy and respect. May the Purple One Rest In Peace and may his legacy live on in with the incredible music he left us with.

    its a doggy dog world. She said the pain killers were rumors. He was a spiritual vegan, was against narcotics and profanity.

      I agree. WHY did he not or why would he not have A Will
      With his worth and knowing his worth in death WOULD Rise and who knows plus I watched an interview with Prince. He said he HAS at least if not more then 1000. Records all finished. Just have to put them in the stores. Well has to get into the factory and make CD's etc... But imagine the $ Value on that ?? My God plus his 65,000 square foot Paisley Park and other homes. Plus the furnishings in paisley Park ! Gold & Diamonds. Guitars. Pianos. Other homes the list goes on and on
      No cars Since Prince did not drive
      But
      How about him riding the Bike in purple Rain. -- stunt driver Maybe
      SORRY
      POINT Is. With All that , WHY would he. It have A Will ?????? Not bright if he didn't. Now it's a fight for what he had bought and paid for during his life. To be fought over by family he seldom saw !!
      That is Life. I suppose.

      +KD S I met Prince once, and I was 13 at the time, I'm 18 now. He was the sweetest thing and the most chill person you would ever meet. He's very religious and passionate about it too. I wish I could meet him again--I was actually going into the entertainment business because of that "meet and greet."
      Even at 13 I had a crush on him. I remember telling him that his music was like having a best friend who understood me better than I understood myself. I will never forget that weekend. I met him by accident and it was the best thing that could have happened to me.
      Anyone close to Prince is blessed to have been friends with this man. I hate how the news (TMZ) is trying to depict him as a druggie when he wasn't about that life. He was a vegan and a Jehovah's Witness. Good JWs don't do that type of stuff.
      RIP Prince. We miss you down here, sweetheart. You were gone too soon.

      Master Mystic it's weird, I'm not from this country but my family is and my mother's side lives not far from Paisley Park and at the time I wasn't really caring that much about seeing a celebrity, I'm not that type of person in general but as I was thoroughly shocked to see him standing in the parking lot, just looking around and quiet
      I screamed but no one else seemed to care. My mom allowed to me walk out of the store I was in and he saw me walk right up to him and smile. He is a small man and was my height.
      he said, "Hi."
      I said,"You're Prince."
      "I am."
      "You are my favourite singer ever."
      "Thank you."
      "I just wanted to see you."
      "Thank you."
      Then he asked where my mother was and I pointed to the store front window and he nodded to her, then looked at me.
      "You should probably go back to your mother."
      "I will, but I want to tell you that I think you are very pretty."
      He laughed and looked at me and said thank you. He asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I responded "a doctor" and he smiled again and nodded, telling me to do just that. I told him that I learned to play the piano, violin, and guitar by listening to his songs and that I really depended on them to get through this thing called life (which made him chuckle.) He told me that if I became a doctor who was a musician, I would be great. I remember him telling me to keep up the good work and if I go into the entertainment business and we meet again, remind him of this conversation.
      At the end of it, he shook my mother's hand who came out to get me and I never saw him after that

      +antij1 "grieving widow act"? seriously? and what super private knowledge did she convey? That he had hip problems a long time ago? We knew that already, so no harm done. Note how she reacts to another question with "... as of right now, they're just rumours"
      JUST rumours, meaning she doesn't hold rumours in high esteem herself.
      The idea that she would be 'faking' het grief is completely ludicrous, sorry.

    This is so painful. Why would you ask her if she has thought about how she was going to say goodbye. The timing for that question isn't good.

Give the woman some time to process the whole thing dang.

    When Michael died I kept thinking as long as he hadn't had an autopsy, some kind of miracle could be performed to bring him back and when I heard Prince died, I kept thinking the same thing. Realistically, I know it could never happen but I felt as long as they had not been cut on, they were still here. We are losing our legends. Even sadder, we are losing them when their deaths seemed to have been preventable. Whitney, MJ, and now Prince. Prince was treated at a hospital the week before. Planes don't land for chronic problems they land for life or death situations. Who were those people around Prince and why didn't they do more to keep him alive? If Prince truly did need to hit up Walgreen four times in one week, something was wrong and somebody should've done something other than just supply him with prescription meds. I've seen Prince in concert and I had just decided last week that I was going to attend one of his shows again soon. It's devastating. For me, there is nothing worse than someone dieing when they had the means to stay alive.

      I totally feel your words are in synergy with my thoughts on this.I wondered exactly the same as you.A multi millionaire who had no life threatening condition suddenly dies but there were warning signals that something was not right.He was a work horse but also prided on being vegan which has not been given much coverage.Either someone took his life in that elevator or there is gross negligence that a rich man like this was not taken care of by noone.Ultimately nobody can be counted upon to be there at all times.I wish he had reached out more in those last hours.Said help I feel sick.He could have gone to a private hospital.Maybe he was fearful of being under hospital care.Then he could have seen the best natropaths in the world.I just wish there were people around him in his final moments that loved him.So sad,a man who loved so much in his life,dying alone.

      +Jamie Fry I met Prince once, and I was 13 at the time, I'm 18 now. He was the sweetest thing and the most chill person you would ever meet. He's very religious and passionate about it too. I wish I could meet him again--I was actually going into the entertainment business because of that "meet and greet."
      Even at 13 I had a crush on him. I remember telling him that his music was like having a best friend who understood me better than I understood myself. I will never forget that weekend. I met him by accident and it was the best thing that could have happened to me.
      Anyone close to Prince is blessed to have been friends with this man. I hate how the news (TMZ) is trying to depict him as a druggie when he wasn't about that life. He was a vegan and a Jehovah's Witness. Good JWs don't do that type of stuff.
      RIP Prince. We miss you down here, sweetheart. You were gone too soon.

    • @morganrobinson3066
      @morganrobinson3066 8 лет назад +4

      Jamie Fry no. I wish.
      it's weird, I'm not from this country but my family is and my mother's side lives not far from Paisley Park and at the time I wasn't really caring that much about seeing a celebrity, I'm not that type of person in general but as I was thoroughly shocked to see him standing in the parking lot, just looking around and quiet
      I screamed but no one else seemed to care. My mom allowed to me walk out of the store I was in and he saw me walk right up to him and smile. He is a small man and was my height.
      he said, "Hi."
      I said,"You're Prince."
      "I am."
      "You are my favourite singer ever."
      "Thank you."
      "I just wanted to see you."
      "Thank you."
      Then he asked where my mother was and I pointed to the store front window and he nodded to her, then looked at me.
      "You should probably go back to your mother."
      "I will, but I want to tell you that I think you are very pretty."
      He laughed and looked at me and said thank you. He asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I responded "a doctor" and he smiled again and nodded, telling me to do just that. I told him that I learned to play the piano, violin, and guitar by listening to his songs and that I really depended on them to get through this thing called life (which made him chuckle.) He told me that if I became a doctor who was a musician, I would be great. I remember him telling me to keep up the good work and if I go into the entertainment business and we meet again, remind him of this conversation.
      At the end of it, he shook my mother's hand who came out to get me and I never saw him after that

    What she says does make sense, I saw a concert of Prince and Sheila E on tv, and he was jumping out of risers, so I can imagine doing all of that caused him bad knees and hips, and pain ofcourse. Sheila E sounds very sincere to me, so I don't think Prince had the flue, what really happend I don't know either, but it's a very strange situation, he died and 2 days later he got cremated, that's weird to me, just like nothing ever happend

    The man was in pain constantly with his hip and other painful issues and he took pain meds for it which by the way doesn't take the pain away completely. So that is abuse, what would you do if you are in pain 365 7 days a week. Stop saying it was drug abuse until you know for sure it is disrespectful.

      exactly plus he was almost 60, and he walked with a cain, it had a rubber stopper on bottom not a cain for looks.I watch him dance back in day, he wore down his body, his hips were bone on bone. He was vegetarian and jehovah witness.People who are true prince fans know thus,and if he did take a pain medication he did not die deliberately he had too much respect for higher being which is god.

  • @RussellRoesner
    @RussellRoesner 8 лет назад +1

    If Prince was doing Fentanyl and other strong opioids regularly, in my opinion it would be impossible he died from a Percocet overdose. He probably could have taken 10 Percocets at one time to just to feel normal. Roxicet and "OP"s (oxycontin) are 6x stronger than one percocet for example. They are 30mg versus 5mg. He probably ran out of his stronger stuff and those photos of him at the Walgreens were probably him just getting weaker opiates until his dealer could deliver on the stronger stuff. A friend of mine who knows Bruce Springstein told me Prince had Epileptcy. My guess is that he had developed Pnemonia, and since opiates reduce lung function, he had an epileptic seazure in his elevator, passed out, and chocked to death from fluids in his lungs.
