That video was hilarious. He actually showed up to an awards show dressed like that. I forgot what it was, could've been the NAACP Image Awards.

It is real. From the Come On video.

One I haven't seen. It sure is a preview of him as a crotchety old man though!

You also get the world's first view of his then-future now-ex wife Mani.

I get it. It just seems to me that Prince takes better care of himself than Amy did and he doesn't have Lupus like MJ had. He's growing older, but he's not your typical pill-popping, risk-taking, extrovert musician. Even in his youth, his craziness was pretty much limited to being horny. If you take away the flashy clothes, extreme horniness, and drama that was almost always started by other people, he's always been a pretty low-key dude.

I think he's going to live as long as he wants to.

That is a f***ing brilliant line...

I could not agree more.... He did not take a lot risks with his life like many around him did.

I think as humans develp they will raise the bar..So all things willing, prince should be able to perform into his 70's and 80's and raise the standard set by his mentor james brown.

That is my belief...He knows how to pace himself very well and that will hold him in good sted

He is like mj in the respect that you think he would be older than his 50's..Done so much and seemed to of been around forever you wonder how he is only 53

If Prince has never touched Jinatropin I'll show my arse.

I would respectfully like to know why people are acting like Prince is going to die any second now. I've been seeing quite a few posts on here about Prince "getting up there in age" and "gonna die soon, so get your tickets quick".

He's 53, not 103. And yeah, I know his knees (or whatever it is) are bad and he's getting wrinkles, but he still gives us all a great show that's hard to beat in this day and age. [Thank goodness he's not into Botox] Heck, Quincy Jones was around his age when he was doing Thriller with MJ and he had had an aneurysm and two brain surgeries almost a decade prior.

Am I the only one who doesn't think P has one foot in the grave?

That is what society says, that old is 40 and over. The entertainment industry would say 30 and over is old, especxially for women. Whatever. All of us are getting older. Prince will be old when he is 100. Because he is a Gemini, he will look 60 when he is 100.

What is it like to be "old"?

Is it a state of mind? Someone who's got no will to live?

Someone who doesn't figure or imagine any future?

Someone who lacks some inner light?

Someone who doesn't believe anymore?

I went to a 80 year old Bday party some days ago, the man who was celebrating was filled of Joy, Passion light in the eyes..He was definetely lively and what was amazing was some Sparkling eyes, as a child who was happy to be. He was in Love and felt for a woman once again 10 years ago..this was absolutely Magic to me..

Wrinkles are marks of expression, which means feelings: happiness, sadness, angriness...

Prince is mature, but still Young..

you can bet your golden ingot prince is as cerebral as the come. (that's sexy)

imo his age alone is the wonderful part about him. he's creative, intelligent, wise, alpha-ish, has beautiful eyes and seems to be an intermittingly fun person. i imagine listening and talking to him just on a casual level would be interesting, fun and unforgettable.

also the man is still fine.

I always believed it was a state of mind the more I get older, I see my parents and they have their moments but most of the time whenever a good feeling comes over them, they are filled with life. Just because you turn 60 or 70 or 80 or even 90 and 100, life doesn't have to end. But I think if your body's tired and you are yourself tired, that can play a factor into how you die. So I think Prince still has it in him to keep doing his thing until he's 100.

I have never cried for an entertainer who died/someone I did not know personally,but the death of MJ changed that-I cried because the world lost a great human being. If I cried for MJ, I know that if I'm alive when Prince dies I will be a mess! I mean a taking a day off work mess! Prince is music for me and that for me just will not be the same without him.

Don't ever say that.......... EVER!

Even at a 101, Prince is going to have abs of steel. 10pack anyone?
