I wonder how close were they, Prince and Duane.....

was Duane some kind of security to Prince, or do I remember this wrong..?

Sad Duane had to leave this earth that early,

R.I.P.

Yes, for a time he was in charge of security at Paisley Park for Prince.....

In 1994. He appointed his older brother, Duane Nelson, to head a five-member committee that would downsize the Paisley Park company, basically he fired a lot of staff member including Levi Seacer
Jr. the former band member who was running Prince's NPG Records label at that time.

He did not fire Levi.

Very sad news.

Is it just me or does referring to Prince's brother as "...and former employee" sound a bit off, and unnecessary!?

I think it was to help people identify exactly who we were talking about, not meant to make him look bad..

1 Thessaloians 4:13 ~ But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.

~ Peace and prayers to you and your family.

*******All 7 and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all*******
