Same here.

Unless they can prove that Prince got Fentanyl from Schulenburg, or that he did something else inappropriate, I don't see why he should be on leave for this length of time. As it stands now, it appears that Prince got the Fentanyl laced pill off the street.

I'm not sure he's "on leave." I am thinking more like he is laying low to keep the eyes off of him. No, I don't think for a minute Prince got the pill "off the street." I think someone got them for him and they weren't even aware of the source. All I know for certain is there are two people who seem to have disappeared: Schulenburg and Larry Graham.

Let me tell you: Mohegan Sun Casino, where Prince appeared for three consecutive nights in 2013, could mount an exhibit as at Mall of America, and it would be packed. I saw the Princess Diana exhibit at Foxwoods Casino, and it was incredible. Now, would Prince have liked that? Maybe not, but it would keep his name out there.

Yea, I found that interesting also that P was working with "new" attorneys for the WB deal. Also, very strange that Van Jones was involved too (insider for Obama).

.

The circle of people who stand to make a lot of money in Prince's death is truly astonishing!

.

I wonder "who" Apollonia was referring to. So many of us asking that question.

Whoa....you have all found some really good articles!!! They were eye opening and always there especially the CEO of WB owning the cremation facility that performed the rushed cremation on Prince. Also, Thanks for sharing the links Zenarose! posted some of the following on the gossip thread- maybe the family knows this and aren't talking because they say it will ruin his legacy ... possibly because it was WB and no one will buy the music if they found out they did him in? I agree with those thinking the new Attny maybe who Appolonia was referring to and interesting she was from Cali, did she contact Dr K and Andrew? Creepy that BOs name came up, they did not lite up Purple on the 21st either and the DEA sent a convoy of vehicles to PP....it has been silent pretty much sense then too. Oh yeah but they found the fentanyl...

.

More and more news will keep trickling out over time.

.

Yes, it could very well be that P's family won't talk because it will hurt his legacy & record sales. WB is planning on releasing a new album next month "Prince4Ever", with previously unreleased music. Didn't take them long, did it?

Whoa! Good article you found there. It does seem very shady, indeed.

.

Ironic that Bowie was on the same record label (WB) as Prince, and he passed away recently.

.

That statement though....."Prince and Bowie dying is the best thing that could have happened to WB".....Wow, just wow!!

.

I guess they are all gonna cash-in now.

.

I also read an article on Billboard (published on April 28th)......an interview with Cameron Strang, states: "Apart from the beneficiaries, the entity with the most at stake in these affairs is Warner Music Group (WMG), which released the artist's music for the first 18 years of his career -- and also released two Prince albums in 2014 -- and could control much of his ­legendary vast archive of unreleased material, which is said to include hundreds if not more than 1,000 songs."

.

And...."WMG received a long-term licensing and distribution deal -- possibly for the life of the copyright, i.e., 75 years after the author's death. For its part, WMG gave Prince a huge bump in royalties for his records -- Billboard ­estimates that the artist received a blended rate of 37 percent across all formats and territories."

.

"His attorney at the time of his death was Rhonda Trotter from the Los Angeles law firm Kaye Scholer, who had executed the 2014 Warner Bros. deal along with former Barack Obama insider Van Jones. His longest standing, although sporadic, recent associate was entertainment lawyer L. Londell McMillan, who ­reportedly traveled to Minneapolis after Prince's death to help handle the chaos around the estate. (Neither Trotter nor McMillan would ­comment for this story.)"

.

Cameron Strang's base salary: $2.25 million

Found this at the end of the article you posted "Prince's legacy is more than the music and his films," says Jeff Jampol of Jampol Artist Management, which oversees the estates of The Doors, Janis Joplin and the Ramones, among other artists, and consults the for the Michael Jackson estate. "As the manager of assets, we speak to everyone who was close to an artist and try to establish a playbook based on what they approved or didn't during their lifetime. There are ­photographs, films, videos, recordings. Are there books or documentaries that can be done? A touring museum, merchandising, apparel? If you enter into this thinking it's just about the music, you have already failed." So did WB talk Prince into turning PP into a museum? Or I wonder if it was always Ps idea???

.

Yes, I read that also.

.

I've only ever heard Prince mentioning his "Vault" of unreleased music, but never heard him speak of turning PP into a museum. That statement was made by Tyka, her husband and a few other's.

.

Prince was a very private person, but I think he may have done something with PP. He did have a lot of concerts there, open to the public, which just shows how generous of a man he was, and how open he was to allowing people into his purple kingdom.

Yes, it was first published in April but still...

-- Please stop. Sheila E mentioned the museum the day after he died in a T.V interview. Apples mentioned it as well that she knew about two years ago. There is no way they could have put the museum so quickly if he did not have things in place. They are saying he had plans layed out and said sent that he sent the plans out to his friends. What we be the point of all of these people lying? In addition the estate needs to generate revenue not just for taxes but to maintain the building. Would some of you line to see it torn down and the property sold?

.

.

I'm not against the PP Museum. Yes, I have heard what Sheila E. (and others) have said about opening PP as a Museum. It had to be done to pay taxes and other expenses; I just think it was too soon after Prince's death, but they had no choice.

That says a lot....had no idea P held a press conference in 2015 and was telling other musicians to not sign with record company's. This may exactly be why he is not with us today

.

Wow!

That article most certainly put it all on the line.

On the 'new release' thread, CryingDoves had this to say:
.

'WB, why didn't you release the deluxe box awhile Prince was alive? What, you knew what was coming? Prince did tweet about it, he mentioned all was turn in but you WB were the ones withholding its publishing for a reason.... May be now, just maybe, we understand why....

'The same with the "tell all book" by ex the backup dancer, which was due on Dec 2105, yet it was pushed for a later released (it seems April 2107 now)..... Hmm, interesting...

'All of this just make people wonder and rightfully so....

Then, in 2017, a deluxe, remastered edition of Purple Rain, featuring a second disc of previously unreleased material, will debut. A release notes that plans for the set "were agreed with Prince before he passed away'"'.

.

So, it could well be that Tyka wasn't the only one who was prepared for P's passing: executives at WB might well have known too - and deliberately (cynically) held off publishing a new compilation because it stood to make more money when P passed. The same could be said for the book publishers cited in CryingDove's post.
.

I know some here think WB might have been more than passive observers of P's demise; I'm not making any comments on that, BUT as has been pointed out above by industry insiders / experts, WB definitely stand to make a lot of dosh (with none of P's interference) now that he's gone.
.

If you have Twitter read what Dr. Funkenberry and Serpan99 posted today. Also read the

comments. Evidently many folks are thinking.

I said for the longest that Tyka wasn't the only one who knew he was dying. He made peace with a lot of people who he had a fallout with. Even Morris Day claimed in an interview he hadnt spoken to PRince for several years (I believed they fallout over that name issue with the Time's (or Original 7ven) and out of the blue he contacted Morris and invited him to Paisley Park. I also believed they didn't talk much but they played music and stuff. So I don't believed he and Morris fully patched things up. He also invited Jellybean too and Jellybean (the drummer for the time) did an interview a few years ago he hated Prince and was mad at him.

I don't get these illogical murder theories on here. Some people really need to take their mental health more seriously. SMH.

muleFunk said:

Let's put it like this.....

Would Prince commit suicide in an elevator with his clothes on backward?

People kill themselves in places that they loved. I believe that he was not fond of elevators.

Another thing that I have to mention here pill ODs are found in resting positions.

Does that include suspension bridges? What about cruise ships. People love those. And holiday homes. I hear the suicide rate there is sky high.

And also I read too that women who committed suicide tend to use pills while men used more weapons like guns to finish off the act.

Prince was feminine as hell so...

And good luck to those on here who trying to figure out a very weird man who often change his mind at given moment and was walking contradictions and had a mystery surrounding him. Shit even his family and his associates don't know too much about him beyond what he wanted them to know. And don;t get started on the choices and actions that didn't make sense to bandmembers or to fans and the such.

I am going based on what I was told and also what Tyka was hinting at us during that ET interview and I since got the idea what happened I just want receipts (or evidence to support my theory).

People don't even want to believe that she has known about it for a couple of years now. Seemed to me she was pretty clear with what she was saying. There probably would have been further explanation if people were getting the wrong idea in how they were reading into her comments. We might have heard that from her or even other family members by now...but there's been no retraction of those comments. Food for thought.

Hints:

WB drops AOA instead of Purple Rain 30.

Saturday Night Live lets Prince blow up the show with the longest performance in show history.

P&M Tour Concept

The Vanity Passing

The murder theories are not asillogical as it would seem because the pill was illegal and whoever obtained this pill can be charged with murder. Prince may have been dying but April 21 was unexpected.

Great, someone with a clear mind. I don't understand it either and I agree with you 100%.

Prince was definately gifted, but he was also human.

I just noticed that in Graffiti Bridge, one of George Clinton's bandmembers is credited as Chris "Doctor D" Worthy. I can't find any other info about this guy or any association with P-Funk. Is it at all possible that Prince's alleged dealer has been hiding in plain sight this whole time? Check the movie credits for yourself.

Yup, his name is there. Along with a few Prince band members and a few unknown names. Makes you wonder, because of the George Clinton connection. Laura Richardson will not be pleased

Also, the guy who kills Aura at the end in his jeep, was stood by George Clinton earlier in the scene.

Could it be Chris"Doctor D" Worthy? Because guess who is the person that consoles him immediately afterwards?!?! Yup, none other than Kirk Johnson.

And people considered Grafitti Bridge a historical irrelevance
