Boni Boyer

I came across a website tribute to Prince's former keyboardist Boni Boyer. She would have been the same age as Prince. Does anyone know how/what she died of? I've been trying to find out, out of plain curiosity.

From what I heard, Boni Boyer died of a brain aneurysm (spelling?), which is a real shame. She was an excellent singer and a good friend of Sheila E's.
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

what u mite not no is...Prince put her away n style...and held an all nite jam session n her honor...

he came 2 Oakland unannounced just 4 that purpose.
and after the funeral announced the jam.

it was open 2 all who attended the funeral.
which was not many.
the jam was 4 sheer release and n honor of Boni.

My sister's brother-n-law...a drummer said Prince was laid back that nite.
he was just one of the boys.
eye would have attended, but no one n my family knew eye liked Prince.

eye only found out the next week when eye was telling the drummers wife about contacting Prince, and she said y didn't u just go 2 the jam session with Lee?

Prince sat on a dumpy old couch, between takes, and chatted with anybody who approached him. he didn't even bring body guards. Not many bothered, he was just one of the boys.
Around 2 or 3 only Prince and the diehards were there, a total of about thirty, ncluding all the jammers n a small nite lounge...still grooving, playing and singing, any and everything, till 6am.

whereupon Prince thanked everyone 4 coming, and got n his white limo and left.
