Musicology tour was a good 15 years before he died. Hardly relevant. And an IOU plus talking to his engineer is not reconnecting. I reiterate that he did not reconnect with those people prior to his death. Would he have soon? Maybe. But he didn't.

Considering that, prior to seeing Brenda and Susan during his Musicology tour, hadn’t seen them since the late 80’s, I would absolutely call that re-connecting. He spent many hours with both of them, and also Brenda’s Son, during that time in Boston. You act like Prince was such a socially accessible guy - he was not though. Ever. Even with those in his “camp” at any given time. HE contacted them, and never the other way around. Prince also saw Brenda and Susan again after Vanity’s funeral when they (including Apollonia and Jill) got together after his P&M concert which they also attended. * You continue to deny the valid point that if Prince had no interest in seeing or speaking to Susannah again the conversation would have ended with his Engineer telling her he was fine and goodbye. That is NOT what transpired during that phone call. She was informed that Prince wanted to record with her again, and she was sent new lyrics that he had written for her to read and provide her feedback. He was continuing the conversation in his typical way. It was his way of connecting. * It’s also important to note that with the exception of the few years after she got married and the few years prior to his death they were in touch by phone, mail or in person throughout the years after she left MN.

She had nothing BUT good intentions and 95% of those after the fact have done just the same. Whether Prince knew he was not long for this earth, people close to him meaning from early days or later days, mainly people that were not in that circle the last few years, they did not expect PRINCE to die, they just did NOT. So this all has been tough weird frustrating and sad most of time, but as Morris Day said recently, "I struggled early on but I am getting passed it" and that is it in a nutshell. Morris also recently said in Bilboard he was not cool with the releases and what was coming out after the fact and that Prince would not like that. But he has to remember that Prince also would not be cool with Books written about him, bands touring playing his music, merchandise with his name on it, everyone posting photos unseen of him, videos all over youtube etc...So you cant cherry pick what you want

Disrespecting and mocking someone when they are alive, and then doing a 180 turn immediately after they pass in order to gain attention and the media spotlight does not mesh with having good intentions. Other than a brief encounter when she attended one of his concerts during his Vegas run, she had no contact with him from the time of their split. She was trying to profit off of him prior to his death as well by selling some of his personal items. * Prince was reaching out to many who had been close to him through the years just before he passed. I think the fact that he did not contact Mayte at all in the few years, or even the year before he passed is quite telling.

really? Where is the disrespect.? She could have sold stories about the child dieing right after or gone public with a lot of things after their annulled marriage, and also falsifying the child's death certificate as father unknown really? She covered for him as did others. If you want disrespect how about Vanity calling him the devil in later years after she found god. What's more disrespectful selling items or burning child's clothing in rage like he did? A lot of people covered for Prince, Morris day said this very recently about BS prince always pulled with not paying for things and reimbursing when he changed his mind, so spare me on who Prince reached out too. Mayte actually was contacted and has stated she knew he was not well, Prince reached out to almost no one. I mean he was with Morris Hayes more than anyone ever, and Morris had not heard a word from him in over a year and before that years before around 2014 when he caught up with a 3rd eye gig.

Prince's way of reconnecting is to not connect at all? Got it.
