yeah, the general opinion is his lame-ass religious order doesn't allow surgeries but i think he's had one. Or he couldn't be performing like this.

Hes always Performed like he does now, So whats your point.

Ive been to Five Concerts since 1992 and hes always Performs well.

I haven't even seen the man perform live in concert in yet but according to the many videos and performances I've seen on tv that man has performed and moved well his entire career.

I don't know. He doesn't do splits anymore. Now, that's a little suspicious.

James Brown used to do splits when he was rather old. Prince needs to do some (s)exercise.

Don't think he has a hip replacement yet.

People usually need quite sometime to recover from the operation. I don't think he has been away long enough for that. He has denied any hip problem some years ago. With him been walking and dancing on those high heels for years plus those slips he used to do, if he don't have any hip problem by now, he will have one soon. But even a hip replacement does not last forever, they can have the usual wear and tear, so if you have one younger, you might still need another one later on when the old one worn out. If there is an orthopaedic surgeon in the house, you may be able to shed some light on those issues.

I don't think Jahova Witness have a problem with surgery but they will decline blood transfusion even in a life and death situation. Hip replacement is a major operation and one of the potential complications is massive bleeding. This means if major bleeding occurs during the hip replacement operation, and the patient refused blood transfusion, he can die. The refusal of blood transfusion among Jahova Witness has certainly caused alot of debate for years, as people have died because of that. Again, it is difficult for people who are not Jahova Witness or not even without a religion to understand this.

I hope Prince will look after himself! We are only interested in his music and do not want him to do anymore "stun" during his show like when he was younger. I am glad he is not doing those splits anymore. It may sound fun when you see a youngster doing splits, but a rather painful sight if a 50 year old man is doing it.

I never know what to believe when the news is through Hollywood, for all I know Prince is a Virgin. Anyway, That's the same dang thing I've worried about since the first of October. All from lifting an elderly person. I healed quite a bit, yet my hip concerns me, and I went to the emergeny room and he said, that I wasn't walking on a fracture, because I wouldn't be walking, and he refused to give me x-rays, and prescribed an anti-inflammatory.

Anyway, so much for dancing with the stars. However, if Prince ever wants to get one, we can do it at the same time. That would be a fun date. Then we could hip-hop for 11 weeks.

Exactly what I was thinking. James Brown was still doing splits well into his 50's.
