Sorry for the second post here. I agree - no one knows what happens between two people except for those two people. I just think from the early 90s onward his life and career appeared to be almost out of control. That might not be the correct description, but he reined it in here and there but it was never a straight course again. He had a goal to become a superstar, he made it but then ...

Life includes pain. Prince had traumas, like many of us do or will. He did live life though and he never gave up on love. At least I hope he didn't in that last year. I wonder if that is why he was so sad? Had he given up on ever finding love again? | |

From what I could tell, Prince seemed quite happy in recent years. He seemed more laid-back and relaxed and seemed to be "himself" again. He didn't need to put on a persona or prove anything to anyone anymore. He had lots of women friends, but were any of them a serious love-interest to him? I dunno.

I agree Clover, I think he took his boundaries down a little bit and relaxed more. And he clearly had TONS of friends and was busy, had his music, and had his band until 2015. Looking at the Andy Allo thread today though, and seeing how happy he was then, I think it got me down a little today, hoping he was happy after that, if it had actually ended. Maybe they had plans to reunite later! | |

. Absolutely! I agree. I think Prince was more himself and more in control of his life than he ever was. He was more humble and down-to-earth. Not saying that he wasn't before, be he dropped his big ego a long time ago. . OMG, have you noticed that Andy, Judith & Kandace all seem to look alike?

I definitely agree with you, I think was happier last year, and in recent years, and I think he was most happy with friends and his music. And he definitely was humble last year and in recent years. And yes, I do think they all look alike. Erin Smith | |

i agree. i don't think prince was a bad person. he had a tender heart and like many others was unwilling to work on the problem spots. his focus on religion always seemed,to me, to be a way he could justifiy his behavior and carry on being dictatorial in his marriage relationships- he wasn't searching for healing/resolution until maybe the last few yrsof his life,imo.

. I think Prince was a good person. He had his faults, like we all do. I think after the loss of his son, he found JW and was trying to heal & cope with the loss of his son. I don't think he used religion to justify his behavior at all. I saw a huge transformation in him in the past 10-years or so. He started to be more open with his fans, more down-to-earth & enjoyed seeing that side of him. That was the 'real' Prince, imo.

I have to agree. Erin Smith | |

. Would you want to risk that a reporter asks you questions about your dead son , about your failed marriage ? I think he just always looked forward and didn't want to dwell on a messy, sad past. So no, I don't think that he couldn't handle it, but that he just didn't want to have that conversation with a complete stranger and then have it re-interpreted in newspapers en making headlines for his private life instead of the music. Particulary if he was promoting an album, which is why he was doing interviews in the first place. . In the 80s he was very private, but in the 90's with Mayte he was quite open about his life and putting himself out there, and then once he burnt his fingers (96/97 the way the media behaved when the baby died), he became very private again. . Just look at all the liner notes in the albums, year after year, album after album. From 2002 he barely wrote anything in the liner notes anymore, because he just didn't want people to talk about his private life, only about the music. . Can we talk about the media for a second? What a monstruous thing those nannies/that newspaper did (News of the World), after Prince and Mayte had lost their baby, (1) going public, breaking their confidentiality agreement, under the pretense that they were addressing an important problem "Prince let his son die/Prince killed his son", which made the Chanhassen authorities investigate the situation (and conclude that there was no wrongdoing). It was absolutely horrible in the newspapers. Literally, they EXPLOITED the death of a sick child - for the sole purpose of selling newspapers/making profits. Horrible, horrible horrible. As if the death of the child wasn't traumatising enough, that must have made it even worse. --- According to one of his attorneys the nannies tried to sell pic of the baby to the tabloids. I guess we will find out more when Mayte writes her book. | |
