I can't find it now, but does everyone remember that photo of Prince from maybe 2011 or 2012, in which he had a SUPER short afro, as if it had been shaved down and was growing back? He was very thin and wearing what I remember to be a white shirt with red print on it????

Makes me wonder if he was coming out of chemo at that time.

I recall we were all shocked by the photo.

I remember seeing that pic also. I will research and see if I can help you find it.

Is this the photo ? Let me know if not and I will continue to search.

Here is another view of the same photo.

No, he was wearing a white shirt with red print, and his hair was far shorter. Almost a balding look.

That's definitely NOT the one.

I know the one the OP means - he is looking down, eyes closed I think - with a face sooo skinny and a really shorn haircut.

That it the one is this from 2012, 13 or 14 because I noticed when we first saw his fro on the view it was very short and seem well like a wig. A little while later it was puffed a mile high. I know their was a lot of back and forth about if he was wearing a wig and remember Andy Allow actually stating it on her Facebook page.

Was he wearing a wig because he lost his hair due to old age or was it chemo?

This is the one that does not look right and I watched the Chicago show and something was off about that whole show. It is the only one that he is not on point that I have come across.

Yes, that's the one - forgive me - eyes are open not closed.

It's not a good pic, I don't care what anyone says.

That's the one. That photo haunted me then. Now, with Tyka claiming she has been waiting for two years... and many of the people I know, when they came out of chemo, they never chemically treated their hair again. As a matter of fact, they wore hair from their youth.

I'm telling you all, this man was sick, had been sick, and was trying to cope.

This one is from 2011. Very thin. His fingers even look pitiful. Maybe it's just me.

Andy said those words?? "old age or chemo"?? Oh my it just gets sadder.

It has??!! Gosh, I haven't even been over there yet -- it's just too crazy in here today!!

Yes it sure is. I can't for the life of me understand why folks can't just skip the thread if they don't agree with the content. It seems to me that getting a thread locked for whatever reason is the main focus. I must say that I am disappointed by that.

.

Geeze, I must have missed something. What happened? I know -- the "Pill" thread keeps getting locked.

Hmmm... that's quite the coincidence.

I too, don't know what to make of the 2 years thing. I wish she'd elaborate on it.

The thing is that the comment just made a mess a whole new bigger improved mess. Now everything reported thus far is even less believable than before and creates even more speculation which in turn makes eveyone look like a "big ole' fibber". And worse than that puts everyone right smack dab at the beginning all over again. When will people ever learn that words are like toothpaste.... once it's out you can't take it back!!!! You can't unhear what someone says!!

.

Zena: I'm right with you on that one!! I love the "toothpaste" analogy. Very true!

.

Even my Husband said "What Tyka is saying is just stirring up more controversy"; and he hasn't been following the Prince news like I have since he passed away.

.

Well, we know that Prince was no "ordinary" guy; I guess we should have expected as much, right?

I noticed that too, in fact, I noticed it very early on because Sheila E. made the same mistake before.

That's cuz both Tyka and Sheila knows hes alive so for them hes not dead. When some I know has died I never talk about them in present tense

.

I have considered that "fake death" scenario, but I seriously don't think Prince would ever fake his death. Sheila E. looked completed devestated when she did that Prince tribute on BET; she was a wreck!! Why would Prince break the hearts of everyone who loved and adored him? He was too much of a beautiful soul to ever do that.

.

I always keep an "open mind" about things.......and there could always be that "possibility".

Why didn't Prince have kids with Manuela?

She recently said on Facebook that she had had a miscarriage whilst with P.

.

I've started to wonder more about why Mani divorced him, and why she is so keen to keep their divorce records locked down.

.

Could it be that P did have a disease - like Hep. C (or even HIV) which they only discovered after the miscarriage, and that Mani divorced him because of that, and her desire to have kids - a desire which couldn't be pursued with P?

.
Speculation, I know...

.

I'd also add re the cocaine habit...I have heard (can't recall from where) that family members had said he had used cocaine...PLUS, and I have noticed this a LOT - P has a little habit of squeezing his nose / nostrils which I've seen cocaine users do.

.

Also (and this may be waaay out there) his nose seemed to narrow over time (again something that happens to people who use coke). I have no feelings about him using it or not using it - I honestly don't care. These are just mild observations, possibly absolute nonsense - but as this is a 'nonsense' thread, why the heck not mention them!?

.

.

Dibble: WHAT??!! Manuela and Prince conceived a child and she miscarried? OMG, I never heard this!!

.

No way was Prince using "cocaine". Absolutely NOT. He was too cool and calm to be a coke user. Coke addicts are incredibly hyper and all over the place. I think it was one of his ex-girlfriends who started this rumor, which is a blatant lie. She went to the press for $$$$$.

Yea, it was getting really bad. I don't know why people just can't play nice and respect people's opinion. It's usually the "Trolls" that always get the threads locked.

True, true - it wasn't explicitly mentioned as to the identity of the father - but wasn't it positioned right by where she spoke of enduring the heartache of divorce - and wasn't there a rumour that she was pregnant by P in 2003?

i remember a pic when he was walking somewhere with misty copeland that his hair was super short and it made me wonder if he was wearing a wig onstage

Who knows?? You never know what's going on with that. But I had my own little idea about that

situation in that P had probably fixed the problem permanently after MG. Possibly not wanting to

experience that pain again. It seemed to fit as he has no children. My personal thought is that she

and EB lost their first. But could be the other.
