I think this is the first interview Morris has done were he speaks a little about coming up to Paisley Park in January. It appears they did reconcile their differences.

Excellent article! Great to have Morris' reflection! Awesome that he and Prince were able to put aside differences and make one last great memory!

Morris said, “There will always be a void. But life goes on. If it were me, I would want people to get on with it. I’m pretty sure he would want the same.” Very well put.

Yes and I think Morris is one that would definitely be one to speak about how Prince would prefer those of us left living to carry on

I liked the interview and it is so nice that they reconciled after all this time, and I definitely agree with his quote, Life does go on, and we have to keep living our lives, because those that are no longer here can't do that.

I think we have confirmation that Prince was bullshittin last summer when he told the editor of Ebony.com he and Morris were talking and recording a new Time album.

Thanks for the reference. Good to hear that they had some type of reconciliation.

Not many details but this remark is significant: “It was the first time in a while that we’d had a chance to sit down and chat,” Day tells The Post. “It had been a few years since I’d seen him. I questioned why he was calling me up at the time. In hindsight, it’s almost like he felt something or knew something was up.”

-// No we don't he was probaly planning on speaking to Morris when he came up to visit or maybe had reached out a few times and Morris did not get back to him until January. We have no idea what they discussed but I still believe he knew he was dying and was trying to make amends with people.

All signs point toward "Purple Rain 2". Morris was teasing the project on Twitter before Prince passed.

The Ebony article was published in advance without Prince's approval so, you are probably right. Prince was probably just seeding the interview with his plans for the future. It's an important disctinction to me, because I was looking forward to hearing new Prince/Morris music and I think it's pretty clear now it didn't happen.

I think he knew he was dying and wanted to clear the air with a few people before he passed on, but I also think he was in denial about it somewhat too, until the day or two before he died. Had he truly believed he was leaving, I think he would have set Morris up better with The Time name and masters and Tyka with his fortune.

Like Morris said, Prince was having a good time watching the Time play. He was sitting with Judith and Tyka. He couldn't stay seated. He kept jumping up and playing air drums, keys, and bass. I was hoping we would join them onstage at some point, but it didn't happen. It's too bad every thread turns into "Prince new he was dying, Prince had AIDS, Prince had cancer," or any other made up bullshit that some of you state as fact.

This last part... Yes! Enough!

Morris said he heard Prince had a good time. He never actually laid eyes on Prince that day, which he mentioned was odd, in a different interview shortly after the Paisley concert, but before Prince died.

I don't blame you at all if you doubt that Prince was dealing with a fatal health issue, other than the opeoids. You probably didn't follow him as closely as some of us that see it as more than likely that he did. I remember the threads where people said Prince had a problem with pills, that everyone attacked before they were deleted. Then, you know what happened, Prince dies from a self-inflicted drug overdose so....

Sad if true but at least he was attempting to get help. It's sad he never got a chance to

receive help. It seems like that's what he was referring to when he told the fans at his final

concert to save their prayers for a few days.

If THAT is the case, He ALSO reached out 2 Andre Cymone in a similar way. Mending fences, maybe???
