Crew, not band. Fink smoked pot, but he said he never went onstage high. He was always sober for a show. I think Lisa smoked too, but I cannot say for sure. Lisa's big thing was her Heinekens and cigarettes. Fink says "Lisa LOVED her cigarettes and Heinekins." I can see Lisa doing that for some reason.

Prince once found Fink and Lisa smoking pot or something, and pulled them into his house one at a time and threatened to fire them if they continued with it. He didn't, but they did. That was like 1980 or something. Maybe 1981 at the latest. Funny story though.

It was the 80's, so there's always going to be a few roadies or crew that are doing something. Drugs are still as rampant on a tour as girls, booze, and money is.

WHY DO YOU THINK MORRIS ALWAYS NEEDED THAT MIRROR??!!?? DOESN'T THAT COME IN THE COKE STARTER PACK?

You're not sure.

Hell, I'm pretty sure he's on something now! He's been takin' painkillers for his hip/leg for years now, since 2001. I remember reading somewhere back in 2004 (??) that Eric Leeds was saying he (Prince) was taking PKs way too often, almost poppin' them like candy.

His hip(s) haven't gotten better, if anything they're worse, so he HAS to be still on that shit. Abusing them or not, he couldnt stop taking that shit now if he tried!

Yep,
sad but true.

i'd be disappointed if he wasn't hoovering that stuff up back in the earlys.. isn't it supposed 2 heighten sexual pleasure? i mean c'mon..

I don't think its fair to be posting comments that Prince has done drugs on here when no one has evidence to the contrary. Everything hes ever stood for shows the complete opposite. He may have indulged in a few bananna daiquiris through his career and the only reason i know that are through song lyrics.

This is a Prince fan site not a Prince slander site. Come on people.

Peace.

This is such bullshit to assume that dude was sitting out in the audience high on coke is crazy if you were not there. Did it ever occur to anyone he might have been drinking since he was sitting out in the crowd watching the show.

Unless you were in the room, all is up to speculation. Any human (and he is human after all) has a right to seek relief from pain. However, how you choose to handle that relief is another matter all together.

Exactly...

laurarichardson said:

Only people who dont know coke would associate his behaviour during that show to it. People think it makes you act "crazy"... which is silly.

thebanishedone said:

In "Purple Music" he states "don't need no reefer, don't need cocaine..."

lezama said:

Exactly. When you're on coke you go up to women and say, "Come here bitches, show me your titties!" and "I'm Rick James bitch!"

Funny post!

If you do not think Prince does drugs, past and present....

You've been following me??

Which ones?

lezama said:

He was coked out of his skull. Eyes pop ready to pop out of his head.
I remember when he appeared on American Bandstand. He was high as a kite during his interview with Dick Clark.

PRINCE DRINKS ?!?!?!?!?!?!

Big joints never got your higher-Chaos and Disorder
SCHoolyard outtake
chocolate box
all three reference weed

If Prince himself was never on cocaine, he sure acted like he wanted to be on it sometimes. I mean, look at the various performances in the old days when he would run the back of his hand across his nose and then give that wild look in his eyes.

vainandy said:

I've heard for years that Prince and Chaka did cocaine together. I wonder why some of his fans find it so hard to believe it might be true.

Because they want to believe that he is their lord and saviour and died on the "starous" for their sins.

I definitely think Annastesia was about an ecstasy trip.

Also, in a different but funny sense, Style:

It's nice man
What U call that?
Style, I like that
It's about me?
(Keep, keep, keepin' on, people gotta keep, keep, keepin' on)
Right on (U got it!)
I ain't got no job, but I got style
Style, yeah

Obviously Style doesn't mean weed, but the whole character of Azifwecare gets high on Style cuz that's some gooood shit man!

Style, u got it!


Also, I don't care if Prince has or hasn't done drugs in his life.

I thought he was strongly opposed to drug taking. He is a manic contral freak, drugs fuck up control, not sure about coke though, it's an ego enhancer rather than destroyer - that said maybe he took truck loads...

No because it is really hard to be coked out of your mind and work at the pace that Prince has over the years. You can look at the number of talented people in the music industry who destroyed themselves due to coke and other drugs.
These people cesesed to work or function and you do not see that with Prince.

Do I think he has tried drugs sure but coked out and hooked seems unlikely. In addtion, I would expect some of the disgruntled employees to run their mouths about this since lately they have been saying everything else under the sun.

I see no reason for former employees to hide any past drug use by Prince that they know about.
