Interesting tidbit on ABC News Nightline

Was listening to an ABC News Nightline podcast the other day and they had a section on aging rockstars dealing with various health problems.

Brian Rooney reported on Barry Manilow's hip surgery, Bob Dylan and his heart problems, David Bowie having a mild heart attack, Peter Townsend's hearing problems, Rod Stewart's brush with throat cancer, Neil Young's Brain Anuarism (sp) and also this tidbit:

"The 5 foot 4 inch singer who sometimes is and sometimes isn't known as Prince has problems with his hips after years of dancing in high heals..."

Is this the first time outside of CJ we hear about this? I was hoping this to be a rumor...

No

When CJ reported it, she was just picking up on previously unsubstantiated gossip that circulated on different messageboards.

This has been done to death, nobody's ever been able to prove it, and what difference does it make now?

Barry Manilow is the last person I would expect to have hip problems due to dancing.

The Black Sweat video and the no tour added fuel to the flame.
