Or that he was busy, rich, famous and didn't need to be dealing with day to day minutiae.

That was his music and his money. I do not see him giving someone else authority over a business deal unless something was wrong. He was very detail oriented. He even hired the guys that cleaned Paisely Park himself.

Exactly, he didn't do the cleaning. Same way he can tell a rep that he wanted xyz in the deal and then let them get on with it.

No the guy said he came behind him to make sure he cleaned up and did a good job.

The lady chef said he walked behind her and checked to make sure the glasses were spotless when he had guest.

Alan Leeds said he drove him nuts constantly checking to make sure Alan's task were completed.

He was very hands on and I have no doubt that for him to give anyone POA something was going on.

The fact that Comerica is working on a settlement with Tidal means if they settle we are never going to find what was going with that deal or why he had a POA.

She was present in 2015 I saw her sitting backstage with him so.....

I don't know why people are having such a hard time dealing with the fact that he was close with Tyka.

They have conconted a narrative in their minds about his life and they cannot let go of it. Despite everything saying the total opposite.

The voiding of the Tidal deal was clearly unfair, based on observably unsubstantiated lies, and contrary to Prince's wishes. I hope Tidal win the case and the remaining album of unreleased material they are owed. It may even already be in their possession.

Funny how after a year the music that was suppose to be stolen and magically placed on Tidal platform is still up on that platform. The whole thing was absurd and I hope the rumor is true that Prince and Jay-Z video taped their meetings. Would really make LM look like a jackass.

I really really want you to be wrong about that. I want to know who the POA was, I want it confirmed that a POA existed if it did. This is the thing that will really point out that something was wrong. He would have NEVER given POA to anyone otherwise. I don't need to be family nor an insider to know that.

I want to be wrong but I think Comerica is working on a settlement because Prince had a viable contract with Tidal and I believe it was Phedra that had the POA.

I do not believe anyone broke into the vault and secretly sent files to Tidal. I do not believe that Prince gave music to Tidal for free or Tidal did not secure something in writing that committed Prince to a certain time frame while maybe allowing him to continue to distribute his music by other means which he did do.

I do not believe Prince promoted Tidal and received no compensation for doing so. I hope the rumor is true that his meeting with Jay-Z were taped just to make LM look like a bigger fool then he already appears.

I think a settlement will be reached were the music will stay on Tidal until the contract ends or the estate will have to pay something to get out it which I think would be silly and a waste of money.

I do not think we are going to find out anything about who had POA and I suspect that Prince may have had Phaedra, Van and the other the other attorney who worked on the deal under some confidentiality agreement.

I do not care what anyone else thinks if anyone had POA to sign contracts for Prince he must of knew his health and possible mental state were going to fail at some point. This guy walked behind the man who picked up trash and cleaned the bathrooms at Paisley to make sure that was done right.

No way in this world in gave anyone the right to sign a doc on his behalf concerning his music and money (3 million according to Tidal) without something being seriously wrong and I am sorry those recent pics of him with Obama from 2015 he looks very ill in those pics. Keep in my mind this was less than a year before he died.

A lot of us knew he was going but didn't see it. When I heard the songs, "Art Official Cage" and "Way Back Home" for the first time, I felt he was expecting death in the near future.

Tykas repeated story that she knew that Prince was dying 3 years before he passed away bothers me. In several interviews on UK TV shows last week she repeated the claim that she received a call from Prince when he told her that he had "done everything he had been sent to do" and asked her to email a song and image to several people. She says that a short time later she realised that this was him telling her and the recipients of the email that he was dying.

Correct me if I am wrong but Prince died of an accidental overdose of an opiod. Prince did not foresee his death 3 years prior. He died in extremely tragic, avoidable circumstances. I guess Tykas claims are down to one of two possibilities - either its how she is dealing with her grief (which is understandable) or shes embelishing things in anticipation of the release of her book.

Either way, I don't like hearing it.

Constant vomiting and craping are a part of withdrawals. Even the chef said that he did not start asking for soups and smoothies until January. They also said he complained about his stomach hurting. So something was going on with this stomach.

Sounds like Laura has no idea of a person's condition who is addicted. Plus, you can't measure Prince by normal standards. He preferred not to stop performing when he had to. I understand it's difficult to understand. She's so so emotionally involved in this that she doesn't realize she doesn't make sense anymore.

I have no idea why she insists on the cancer story, maybe she needs closure. You are no different than all the bullocks conspiracy folks out there. You need a rest, you are going nuts.

Edit: He could have had all kinds of organ failure due to those pills and the medical bills might have been cause of that.

I am going to make a list of the many things that have been discussed about a possible illness and the information we have most of which is factual. So some of you who have an issue remembering things can have your memory jogged.

I will then just keep reposting it. Newsflash If he had any type of terminal illness don't you think taking pain killers would be a part of his treatment? If so would that make him a drug addict? Would drugs be his primary problem? Would drug use even matter at the point of terminal illness?

You cannot think in that matter because you and many others want him to be a part of some epidimic when in fact he could have very well needed those pain pills for real medical problems.

Nothing nuts or crazy about actually thinking. Something is nuts about discounting what his sister has now said 3 different times and will write a book about. Something nuts about thinking he planned to die from an overdose a few years in advance.

Goodness he had a 65k line item for medical illness and you still are playing the drug addict angle knowing that organ failure or cancer would mean drastic medical care.

This just requires some common sense thinking.

Thank you. He even mentions cancer in one of the songs.

And it has to be said, if Prince wrote something in a song, it doesn't make it real. Most of his lyrics give away very little about the man.

Excellent laura, please do this. Every bit of what you said here makes perfect sense for those who are WILLING TO SEE and understand.

(sigh)

suspect the book cover will be the picture he sent & the actual book will contain the song he gave to her & Andre.

Just horrendous to listen to her "all will be revelaed in my book" quotes.

why does Way Back Home mean he knew of impending death? He says all I want is to find my way back home. Lyrically that would not make sense if he was going to die and he equates that with finding his way back home.

death =home. He says he's trying to get there-well he's already found the answer so why try.

Lyrically all it means is a life journey to one's true self.

If one wants to argir he's being poignany, questioning or existential because he knew he was dying then fine.

However the lyrics do not claim knowledge of death nor do they go any further than pretthy much the previous 30 yrs of his career in questioning who, what, why and where he is in relation to himself, life and god.

I could probably picj any album and find a track with the same intention as way back home

Please listen to the whole album:

You've probably felt for many years in your former life
That you were separate from not only others, but even yourself
Now you can see that was never the case
You are actually everything and anything that you can think of
All of it is you

Prince has gone home.

The pasta is burning on the stove, the famous person is not here anymore. It's June without Prince.

It didn't make sense then, but it does now.

He knew it.

He said many times if you wanted to know anything about him it was in his music. Don't you think he would write about dying. We certainly do not have songs fills with lyrics about the joys of drug use.

Perhaps because it was not going on in his life until he was ill. Just a thought.

LOL - this line of thinking is very amusing to me. I expect more from Prince fans. But then again, just spend an hour here and you get to see the dissapointing nature of a lot of so called fans.
