    I would say he was gay. He was probably barley finger-licking good. Excuse the vulgarity but I saw him licking his finger and I couldn't help but think . . .

    Tap..tap..Tap. I see I hit another nerve. Easy peasy.
    Gonna back pedal on the tall thing first, huh? Shocker.
    You said Peppermints comparison wasnt a good example. I contend that, yes, it damn sure is. They are both all about show, costumes & make-up. They both perform BEFORE (<---- grown up spelling) an audience. I thought (<---grown up spelling) you were aware that stars like them put on performances to entertain the public. My mistake. Oh, yah, on IS filmed so it can be edited and such...that way mistakes can be left out. Duh. Live shows like Prince arent given that luxury.
    Oh, the James Dean thing? He wore leather and jeans like you think is sexy. LOL.

    For people who say they didnt care for his music or particularly care about his death...you and your buddies sure seem the opposite. Weird

    Love it all you want. My comment is true. Prince was LOVED by women. LOTS OF WOMEN.

    Prince was a sexual anarchist.

    It is and was expected that "most people" would not "get" him. He was a sensuality master chef. David Bowie wishes he was Prince. Prince liked girls... he devoted his attention to their liking so much that he found what appealed to them appealing. He wore a trench coat and a gold lamay bikini... he established glam rock. What he did, that not many managed, was to write, engineer, record, produce, perform and in all ways OWN his work. Oh, and he looked the same when he died as he did in 1982, because he is a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing mutant. Yes, he probably killed himself with opiods. In my America, you get to. You get to not fade into madness. His studio possesses more work 10 fold than he ever released. The gift of prince will keep on giving, and chances are, you haters will like some of it... if you allow yourselves. Nobody in this era did what he did. Hate him all you will. That midget kicked the worlds ass. Long live Prince.

    Yes to all of that. But in the end, he self destructed. He had it all by the standards of many. And blew it.

    He died young, beautiful, rich, and on his own terms. It is we who opt to judge. His family is absorbing a windfall because he owned his work, and everybody is seeking it. Thousands of our best die on the battlefield scores younger than he. He did what he did best as long as he could manage it. Say farewell instead of chastise his chosen path. It was an inglorious death of an icon. Remember Phillip Seymore Hoffman? He OD'd in front of his children. Do you hold Prince below him? That is a serious question.

    I do not think that Prince's last days were "on his own terms". Who has all that you say he did, and then dies out of their mind, wired on opiates, without their memories working properly, claiming that it is "on my own terms" ?

    That there are others out there who self-destructed more miserably is not a feather in anyone's cap.

    You avoided my question.

    He died on his own terms? He died in his elevator at age 57.......

    I don't hate the guy. Never paid enuf attention to him to like or hate. To me, he's just another one of these pop stars who suddenly bit the dust and looks like it was the usual cause for these celebs.....

    Hey, ctrl, you're the daddy of 2 cute kids. You want to see some real talent? Right now I have on Steve Harvey's "Little Big Shots" - what a show and what talented kids! Just now I watched this 4 yr old boy play the piano like a little Liberace......it was truly incredible.

    And one day if he overdosed... would you feel the same? Being exceptional is lonely. I played for the Queen of England, when I was 15. I gave up on the instrument at 16. I stopped listening to music entirely at 24. I was not a genius, only very good. Prince was a genius, a prodigy. I could not suffer the majority of his work, but it had tentacles which bore deep into popular culture, from Sinead O'connor to Byonce. He died at his own hand... whether or not you think it clever. I am not sure you are fit to judge ma'am.

    Most everyone in a hospital ICU with a DNR. It is a gentle push into that goodnight which bridges an ethical boundary none of us wish to discuss. Thank God for good nurses.

    Good grief.....I can't believe your last comment. So, if I voice my opinion about these celebrities - that's plural, which I had stated b/f, so it wasn't just about Prince, alone - dying from over-dosing on drugs, I'm 'judging' them? Even if I was, why would it matter to you or anyone else? And my opinion would be the same as millions of others b/c these celebrities are role models to the young people and what they see are drug addicts....

    And no, I never even hinted anywhere that I tho't his death was 'clever'....anyway, I'm done here.

    He died on his own terms?

    You mean totally alone in a 55,000 sq ft building, with not a single other person there, in an elevator, and not found 'til the next morning when staff couldn't reach him and went there to see what was up?

    Those were his own terms?

    I knew he was strange, but that strange?

    What do you do when the front page of the forum is loaded with Biden Bombshells that make him look bad? SIMPLE! Revive a Prince obituary thread from 2016!

    Her years of suffering makes her early death even sadder.

    'Three years after her debut, she became a household name with a rendition of “Nothing Compares 2 U” — a power ballad originally written by Prince. The track turned O'Connor into an international sensation and was named the number one world single in 1990 by the Billboard Music Awards'

    Sadly you're not able to comprehend the artistic connection between Sinead and Prince.
    Not surprising though.

    Hoffman was found dead by a friend.
    You are wrong.
