Title: Prince found dead
Post by: Angry Perch on April 21, 2016, 10:28:26 AM
Like him or not, the dude was seriously talented. Sad day. Kind of makes Chyna's death back page news (if it  wasn't already!)

Heard it on the radio a bit ago; a shocking loss for certain.  Of note is that he played almost all the instruments on his first 5 albums, and, was self taught for the most part.  He was one of those artists who's music wasn't stereotyped by race, similar to J Hendrix, to his listening audience.  Yes, I'm saddened that such a gifted artist is gone at such a young age.  RIP Prince.

He'd canceled a concert last week and made an emergency landing in IL due to what his press guys said was the flu. I guess the money and fame doesn't matter much when it's time to go. He sure was talented.

I don't know, JD, he seems very well spoken to me in that interview.  (Although I shut it down when he mentioned the word "chemtrails."  I won't go there.)

We may find out someday that we've been on the wrong side of that discussion. I'm not a chemtrail guy either, but it wouldn't be the first time our government has done something like that to us without our knowledge. He was extremely well-spoken and intelligent.

What may seem odd to one person, can be another persons normal.  As I've gotten older I've learned to be much more tolerant to other peoples likes and dislikes. 

I can't say I was a huge fan of Prince but, whether you liked him or thought he was a total flake, there is no denying Prince was wildly talented and at only 57, far to young to pass away.  RIP

I'm not Plat, but I can use google.  ;)  Apparently she was in porn:

"In June 2011, Chyna released her first adult video with Vivid Entertainment called, Backdoor to Chyna (2011), which sold over a million copies. She said the movie allowed her to regain control of her life, gave her a newfound confidence and got her back on her feet. "

Flu? Really?

He had epilepsy as a child.  Had heard rumors over the past few months that maybe it was reappearing.  Not sure how or if the flu could compound that affliction.  But he was not a drug user from any reliable source I can find.  A lot of reliable sources to the contrary though.  Sounds like a pretty cool dude.  Definitely a gifted performer.  Gone way too soon!

I found it interesting that his former protégé passed away in February at age 57 also.  Of course that was due to complications from a kidney transplant after extensive drug use.   Anyone remember her performance on the tv show Highlander?  She got a bad rap for her acting, but she was a badarse in that episode!

Not sure I will give much attention to a Daily Mail claim of an overdose.  Although it's possible to overdose on just about anything.  Even over the counter cold and flu medications.  I'm content to wait for coroners report on this one.

I saw her spread (pun intended) in Playboy many years ago. My Grandpa had a subscription and I used to read the pictures whenever we visited.

Not to be an a$$ in his passing but will we be calling him the "Artist Formerly Know as Price" again? I remember when he was called that after he changed his name to a symbol.

The story behind the whole "Artist formerly known as Prince" and the symbol is rather fascinating.  Either he was super smart or he had some super smart people working for him.  Maybe both!  I wasn't a huge fan of the music, but I gained respect for Prince after that ordeal.  Good read if anyone likes intellectual property mysteries. :chuckle:

It's coming out now (TMZ is the source I think) that he was addicted to painkillers after his hip surgery in 2010.. Percaset (sp?) was mentioned.  The brief news snippet also said that he had to be revived a few days back, and, was seen pacing outside Walgreens a handful of times over the past week (getting scripts refilled).  None of this is verified.

The Sherriff of the county where Prince was found is making a statement right now on ABC. Because it was an unwitnesed death, they processed the scene as a normal procedure. Autopsy is happening today. The medic units preformed CPR and pronounced him dead shortly after 10am yesterday. The Serriff just said that they are ruling out suicide.

The other thing that seems to be floating around is that he died of sleep deprivation.  So maybe not a traditional overdose on drugs, but drug influenced lack of sleep.  I read he'd been awake for a week straight.
