Full interview is here, after the 2 hour mark. Around 2hr8mins.

This is speculation but based on her comments and what we know about Prince's condition he clearly knew there were issues.

He was addicted to or at the very least needed opiods to manage his addiction/pain. He knew there was risk to his need and there could be tragic results. His deterioating condition could lead to these comments which would kind of be acknowledgement of an issue.

If true it's sad that she did not take those comments as a potential call for help. I mean was everyone in a shell regarding his need for drugs to manage his pain.

In many ways Prince's end is truly a tragic story. His work ethic to provide us music and entertainment was unlimited. A person who was born dimunitive and had an ego that manifested in wearing and performing in high heels. Doing splits and althetic jumps for our entertainment on those heals clearly led to serious issues and pain. In many ways he did die for us....I just wish someone whom was in the inner circle was there to provide help. We lost this generations greatest musician and the music world will never be the same.

What psycho babble! He was a short guy whose heels did not really give him too much height and he said the ladies liked the heels. I kind of thing you are really running with something.

People are capable of having joint problems,arithithis and other issues that can just happen or is just hereditary and has nothing to do with wearing heels.

I doubt he knew he was going to od on mislabled pills 3 years ahead and I doubt Prince sent her a picture and a song about O.Ding.

I am sure they spoke during those 3 years and I bet it was not about pain pills while he recorded music, toured, worked with people, traveled, and did after shows. Maybe he was just going to pass and nothing could be done.

Tyka seems to be a really nice person.

But also strange. (I'll keep reason for that to myself, bc it's subtle and someone here will misunderstand)

Further, she says 'He told me' [he was dying]. She's deliberately being cryptic when she could tell more.

Love how some people automatically jump to conclusion 'oh it must have been a terminal illness'.

Maybe, just maybe he was dealing with bone pain and opiate withdrawal issues 3 yrs prior as well. In light of what we know now, I would say pain issues and opiate dependence are still the likelier explanation.

^^ Some people do take opiates for pain relief. Just so I don't get misquoted by laurarichardson again.

If you intend to publish a book, you're not going to give out the biggest information before publishing it, right? I mean, that's the million dollar question: what was wrong with Prince and why did he die?
Everyone else is writing books but ir seems she's the only one who can answer this very important question. The book deals should be flying in, I reckon...

And no, I'm not making this about money, just saying she's the one who can write the very book that everyone is most interested in and that it would be self-defeating to talk about the important stuff.

I didn't read this as psycho babble at all. Very honest and kind words...as you say it's speculation but I agree with your assessment. He worked tirelessly for us, the fans. And yes he paid the price for the splits and jumps. There could have been different outcomes if he sought help, but that's all hindsight now. The music world truly changed the day he died. I know mine did, too.

In earlier interview she claimed she knew for two years, now it's suddenly three years?

It amazes me how many people get hung up on this

In October 2016, she first said she knew his death was coming 2 years ago.

We are now in October 2017. It's a year later, so now it's 3 years ago.

Tyka has always been clear about this, but everyone else casts doubt on her because no one goes back to check for dates.

OBVIOUSLY...

of course she'd have to change the date to reflect time. (WHich she believes in)

Anyways... what happened to this thread?

"TYKA CLAIMS PRINCE ASKED HER TO SHARE A PICTURE WITH ANDRE"??

I'm all for useful moderation.... but not moderation that wishes to control open FREE discussion.

Shouldn't be cncelled if it just displeases a section of people.

It might have just needed a bit of tidying up and will come back? We'll see I guess.

I don't see what exactly was going wrong with it...but I DID miss it over the weekend.

Anyways, I've gotta track down that BBC interview.

Meaning that for whatever reason, the mods pulled it and it may come back when they are done doing whatever Things that get snipped generally don't add anything to the conversation, it's just us posters get pissed off at each other and talk shit. Happens all the time. It's not anything to get worked up over imo

Now both threads are gone (the chronic pain one too)...
