which part of what ur friend said? cancer of esaphogus?(sp) how have ur thougths changed?

Acute myeloid leukemia .

Counterfeit pills, found in elevator OD with clothes on backward, the lack of PR 30 being released although WB had the material for release, no will, cremation so quick after death with no memorial.

This whole thing just got more ridiculous. Two year build up...knowing he would be gone. Prince or no one around him could stand up and say 'get you shit together'!

I forgot about the cloths being on backwards.

What an emotional mess

If it was leukemia or anything else, and he knew about 2 years ago, he could have received the best medical treatment in the world.

I don't buy it.

his job was finished ..he got his masters back

do WB tend to "inherit" them now?

at least the money from the tours goes to preserve the material and upkeep the park

I must have missed this before. If it is true, then he is really a hero in my eyes. I had a family member succumb to this, and it was horrible. It was a sheer effort of will for them to get through a day. We know P had a strong will, but I wouldn't wish that kind of pain on anyone.

He was a hero whatever the problem was. For two years he kept performing for us all and working for his charities even when in pain, even when he couldn't even make it back home. He put on a brave face and let us into his life right to the end.

.

At first, like most of you, I wanted concrete answers but I just think he had the right to choose for himself if he told us the details or not. Looking back though, he seemed to be

dropping enough hints.

Good point until you factor in the faith aspect.

--/ Whose said he did not get medical treatment. Cancer can go into remission and come back the next day. There are people who deal with cancer on and off for years. They can give you treatment until you just how long you will make it. I had cousin who was given one year to leave and a chemo bag and sent on his way.

Cancer didn't kill him. I never said he didn't get ANY medical treatment. If it was cancer he could have had the best medical treatment available in the world.

The floodgates of innuendo and speculation have certainly re-opened. Maybe that was the intention...

[Edited 10/6/16 10:12am]

Yes the floodgates have re-opened most definitely. Wasn't expeceting this to hit me this way at all today. Have been a mess all day. Cannot stop crying. When I heard the bit about his hand written notes left as they were... that got me big time. He had so much more to give us. He was not losing his voice like some musicians are, he was not thinking about taking a break from music, he was still full of ideas and they were getting better & better. He was still amazing and still full of creating music & he was the happiest I had witnessed him as a fan over the last 30+ years. This hurts so much.

Steve Jobs was super wealthy and he was getting treatment with his cancer and the cancer came back and despite all the treatment in the world, he still passed. Cancer doesn't give a damn about someone's status I am afraid. When your time is up it is up. Simple as that.

Yes, it is that simple. I know firsthand.

I read that Steve tried alternative therapy but later regretted he had not stuck to "regular" medicine. Either way, he had no hope - my mom died of the same cancer 22 days after diagnosis.

Oh wow

Yeah I won't judge people for going to the alternative therapy route but it is best to do both regular and alterative but you right still we never know if he did both routes he would been cancer free.

I didn't realize it had been confirmed that he had cancer?

Cancer didn't kill him (if he even had cancer), pills did.

Nothing has been confirmed besides Fentanyl.

Did anyone see what she said on the Today show? Now I am confused-I thought she said that she was 90% in denial or 10% accepting that Prince was dead. His two older sisters were also on the show and they said that PP still feels Prince presence-that is a paraphrase.

Somebody call Oprah and have her reach out to The family than we will get the true stroy. Happened with Whitney.

2014...Just as a few of us had been saying in the (again) disappeared Fentanyl thread...

.

Prince himself said he was an 'open book' - he TOLD us ALL in his own way that he was leaving - read his lyrics on AOA.

.

LOOK at what he said and did in 2014, at his last ever gig in Amsterdam:

2.01.50 onwards...

The man KNEW - and he wanted US to know too.

I have been a wreck all day. Yesterda reading 'their' plan, in their mad scramble to dampen the wrath of the purple army after the announcement of no PP tours, then only on the 6, 8 & 14...to put Prince 'artifacts' on display at the GD MOA. That didn't sit right with me at all.

His items were on display in his living in Mpls at Hard Rock Cafe for years during his living. I took this one before they closed down. Those are his shoes. Never seen them again since.

Yes, it is that simple. I know firsthand.

So...you died?

It does seem confusing. I wonder when the ET interview was taped, probably not too long ago, but the Today show was live so I wonder if the ET interview actually happened first.

I do think both comments can be true since she was responding to different questions. One was asking how she found out and was it hard; the other asked how she was doing now. She seems to be saying that she knew this would (could) happen because he told her 2 years ago so she was not surprised. She has been crushed for a long time so she's in a different place that people who knew nothing and for whom it was sudden. She's also saying that things have shifted for her recently. In the beginning, she was 90% he's still here. Now she's feeling the loss more profoundly.

I can say from experience with my mother's death that if there is a long illness the phone call about the death that you receive is not a surprise. Living with the loss is a different story. So this does make sense on some level.

Tyka said in the ET interview that she feels Prince all the time and it feels like he is still with her. She seems to have shifted by the live Today show. It could be that it's hitting her hard now that she's talking about him publicly and showing journalists her brother's things. Grief is weird that way. The loss hits you at moments that you don't expect. For instance, I have a friend who lost her brother when he was only 31. She expected to have a hard day on his first birthday after his death. It wasn't too bad, however. It was on her birthday that she had the breakdown because he would call her first thing in the morning on her birthday. The loss of that call, expecting it and then realizing that it would not happen, brought on a whole new level of grief.

It's clear that Tyka knew something so she is in a different place that someone for whom his death was a surprise. But she is still moving through the grieving process. It can seem contradictory from the outside looking in.

This is very true. I've had these type of reactions myself. Thank you for the reminder.

That didn't sit right with me at all. Am I the only one? The idea that they're reducing him to objects as if that's what were why/what we are/were going to PP for. And I also wish they would stop and think What Would Prince Do/want - because while I didn't know him PERSONALLY I'd be willing to wager he sure AF wouldn'tw any his things carted around Minneapolis and put on display in a mall. But maybe that's just me

Today, with the clips, images and quotes of the Today show interview... I find myself absolutely gutted all over again. The images of the way they have things set up ... Just sent a dagger of heartache. It really was reality kicking me in the shin with cleats! He's. Gone.

And no, I haven't been in denial this whole time. I actually thought I was making some progress, not crying as often as before. But today I can't seem to keep it together.

.

I know! All of this is just too much to take! Let's all try to calm down and stay centered.

I don´t think what he said to her had anything to do with terminal illness or pills or whatever. He was a spiritualized guy, he felt that his mission on earth was complete and told her so.
