I wonder if something big is happing soon with all these rumours going around....

OMG, a STICKY for this "issue"?!?


OK, has ANYONE seen Prince the last few months? If so, when and did he appear to be limping or have any kind of mobility impairment? Any kind of surgery is risky, and I don't think this in particular would be contemplated unless the person can hardly get around anymore.

Yes,but I was at his shows for Musicology and he was doing some dancing and jumping about. Up and down and crawling and stuff. Personally he was wearing High Heels why would he Chance falling in HONG KONG. Prince's SECURITY TRULY Doesn't want Anything to Happen to him. He would Never want to Trip before a Show especially on STAIRS. You know Showgirl's and Models wearing PLATFORMS have got to watch out. Naomi Cambell fell at I Believe an ALEXANDER MCQUEEN Fashion Show with HUGE STILLETOS on.

WB Channel 11 News, New York City, Entertainment Segment, this morning @ 6:48 AM

my mother worked for 15+ years in the orthopedic department of a clinic/hospital for a number of different orthopedic surgeons. i asked her last night about the hip replacement surgery and she told me that such a surgery would definitely alleviate the pain caused by the hip bone and joint rubbing on each other but that, after the surgery, there would be certain restrictions the patient would be HIGHLY advised by his/her doctor to follow, so as not to cause further injury or stress to that [weakened] surgery site and to avoid more problems. such as, Prince would most probably be advised NOT to wear the high heels AT ALL anymore; be told not to do certain exercises, movements or certain body positions (even crossing your legs might be a no-no for a particular patient).

lastly, just because Prince can still "get around" without visible pain doesn't mean anything in terms of whether or not he's *really* in pain, or whether or not a hip replacement surgery is deemed a necessity (sooner or later) by his doctor. if Prince has irreversible damage at this point to his hip/s, enough so that its causing him pain, it's NOT going to just 'get better' or go away....and therefore him being told by his physician that a hip replacement is the only option that would alleviate his pain is certainly not some far-out, outrageous concept.

maybe Prince's doctor told him he could slide for a couple more years without having the surgery if he doesn't mind taking painkillers and anti-inflammatories (but those come with their OWN set of potential problems to consider, too) and avoids certain activities and stresses to his joints (such as dancing and wearing the high heels), but a person doesn't have to be hobbling around or so disables they're in a wheelchair for a joint replacement surgery to be declared (by their doctor) as a procedure that's going to be need to be done -- sooner or later.

Pfft. some "celebrities'" "careers" would cease altogether if those tabloid papers were illegal and shut down, and those "celebrities" know it and they might bitch about the tabs, but deep down they're just grateful that anybody gives enough of a crap about them to print their picture and report on them at all.

He didn't do splits but he did do some floor crawls in New Jersey and he did when he was saying about Exercise..Jump up and Down. I think Prince needs to Stay Healthy with Diet and I do Believe in Juicing and Microbiotic and Japanese /Chinese Medicine. I used to use alot of Herbs and stuff from the American Indians. I am Sure Prince Knows about this. Chiropractic. A person can go to clubs and be a Party Person without the PROPS so to SPEAK. There is TRULY a Big ALCOHOL problem in the USA. If something makes you UGLY ..Don't DO It. Alot of Club kids in Miami are doing ICE. Anything CHEMICAL/UNNATURAL will DAMAGE your BODY and Forget your Mind. Just stay Healthy with Alot of VEGTABLES and Fruits and get rid of Junk and Processed Food. Keep the Fries though.

Anybody that keeps up with the news knows that...

Prince is a gay wheel-chair bound expletive-spitting agoraphobic.

He carries a large hunting knife in his sock and as such all who meet with him are instructed to avoid making direct eye contact, for this has been known to trigger violent fits of hallucinatory-based behavior stemming from years of abuse of mixing and matching wine, estrogen and a whole plethora of pain medications.

Like royalty he cannot be addressed without the proper protocol, a full-body cavity search and a 30-page document signed in triplicate.

When not singing he communicates only through a cryptic form of sign language that requires sexual intercourse with masked females. Only then does he feel whole again as a gay bashing gay.

After sex with Prince the female is led directly to a computer where she transcribes his thoughts and feelings to words and musical tablature from data that's been stored up as a series of complex taps upon her g-spot.

He puts aluminum foil on every window of his home to block out the "naughty stuff" and to keep his house smelling of fresh jasmine.

He is currently both in intense therapy and in intense denial about it. He refers to these sessions as "going to the beautician to have his 'fro lifted".

In his spare time when he's not leaving pint-size tips at restaurants, chasing kids off the lawn with his pimped-out purple Hover Round, sucking the blood from doves to keep his baby-smooth complexion, or battling uncontrollable bouts of Tourrette's syndrome he finds time to write, produce, compose, arrange, practice multiple instruments, sing, record, hire band members, rehearse, take meetings with record executives, dream-up marketing plans, release music, make videos, appear on TV, and plan and perform in massive concerts all over the world.

Good point. In all seriousness, I hope Prince is doing all the necessary things that he needs to do to be in good health.

He just wont be doing any large scale shows anymore.

I am sure he will be, he is a wise man. It must bring a smile to his face knowing how we all care for him and that we wish him well.

Well, you have to admit...
It has been awhile since we've seen the man do his trademark splits!

(I don't recall them in the Musicology Tour anyway.)

probably not cause ive been saying the same thing over and over in these thread yet people ignore it just so they can post their bigoted hate speech..

OK, but a year or more after that pic was taken, he seemed to be moving very well on the stage (Musicology tour).

Oh, maybe you were just kidding?

The ORIGINAL source of this story is the National Enquirer so take it with a grain of salt. All your other so called media sources such as WB media channel 11 news are using the enquirer as a source which should tell you something.

I believe he has sore hips but I don't believe he needs a transplant because I have known people who needed transplants and they could hardly get around and Prince appears to still be very spry and mobile.

I personally believe the Enquirer read CJ's column and ran with it and made up some juicier details.
