Larry loves God so much yet worships money. Fraud.

If you love God, you recogine we are all EQUAL and Gods children, thus you want EVERYBODY else to do well and get paid what they deserve.

.

so its wrong for larry to have a business and pay people to work for him? thats what a band is, a business.

.

you people are all a special kind of piece of shit.

You have not been following the thread and the links. Larry is a women beater by the way. You are pathetic, calling me names for hating the fact musicians are ripped off. Crazy.

See who were at his funeral: a few women half his age. You really think there were his best friends? Sadly, it seems he had no real frirnds except for Kirk.

20 people were there. No Bobby Z, no Andre Cymone, No Lisa Coleman.

The 3 I mentioned did not speak to him as much as the young women who are now caliming to be BFFs with Prince, but they loved him for DECADES and should have been invited.

I think timing and chaos is the reason other are not there as they would have liked.

I mean I would have sent an invite to many of the band members, especially the ones who lived in St Paul or Minneapolis like Dr Fink Bobby Z Mark Brow(Mark)

not trying to be snide but Demaris but no Lisa?

Sheila E was there Larry Graham was there

Yep. Fink worked with P for 13 years. Do you know how much Prince must have respected him to work diectly with him for that amount of time? He should have been invited.

If Van and Tyka did not invite these people, as I suspect they did not, SHAME ON THEM.

Yea it's so sad to me that only 20 people were there. I know they were respecting his wishes but I feel like Andre, The Revolution, Mayte, Shelby, Tamron etc should have been invited not all the 20 somethings. The exception in my book would've been Andy Allo bc she seemed really close to him. Hasn't posted on social media in days.

How come you guys know who went and who didn´t ?

Did they show footage or pictures of who was there ? And who decided on who´d be invited and who wouldn´t ?

It seems very strange to me that certain associates were not there....at least according to what you and Keenly posted.

Didn´t really know that Van Jones and Tyka were that close to him.

We know who was there because there are photos of everyone coming out of the building. Perhaps we don't know for sure who WASN'T there, but we certainly know with 100% certainty about many who were.

Today the vibe here has begun to deteriorate again. These past three days of peace are done I guess.

and because you saw them we can deduce others werent there or invited

You're confused and uninformed. Just let it all go.

Larry was never a real friend. He used Prince IMO. IF P had said NO 'I am not into religion', Larry would have NEVER been around.

for the upteem time prince became ajehovah witness courtesy of his mother, not larry g. pleaseget your story straight.

I don't know all the particulars but I know this, there was a short turn around time to ge there. I mean if you are out of the country or something or if more travel time is needed. I still think everything with service was quilck.

You guys should read layne staleys story of alice and chains.He died alone at home didn't want anyone around the only way they knew he died is because his checking account had no deductions.All his fans day after day started doing the same thing blaming others.His mom (laynes mom) shut the front door on all that by saying hey Layne could of saved his self he made choices.Now we dont know princes situation.But,all these associates and friends prob wouldn't of been around much esp with prince being a jw.Working friendship is one thing but,socializing outside of members is very discouraged.

AIC with Layne were a fantastic group. Real shame about that. Watching the Unplugged show makes it obvious he was struggling. Apparantly nobody knew that Prince was on drugs.

The turnaround time from death to the service was quick because apparently that is how the JWs do it, or so i have read. It also seems that Prince requested no big song and dance about the proceedings so the best way to avoid all that is to move quickly.

Anyway, Im glad it was all done quickly. All i want now is the final conclusion on what happened so i can move on. I hope it doesnt take four weeks as suggested it might by some sources. I suppose the longer it takes, the more complicated events were leading up to his death. Sheila E says she knows what happened, so perhaps it is quite clear and straight forward and we will get to know pretty soon.

what about his will?? did he do it?

chelsea rodgers was there as well as josh and hannah

The big question for me...How could the Illinois hospital NOT give Prince a private room? Wtf

yeah, i mean, just wheel a bed into an office somewhere on the floor, you know. jeez.

it's good that they treat everyone equal and go 'same procedure for everyone'. but if one

of your patients turns out to be prince, in serious trouble, telling you he'll walk if he can't
be in a private room, surely you can manage to improvise. just put him and his crew in a

janitor office or something, you know so many things in this story are just depressing.

someone in his entourage or his friends should have hired a serious cfrew to kidnap him very gently but firmly then fly him by private jet to an undisclosed location. taken him safely away to somewhere like st bart's and made him lie down for several months.

One thing that really disturbs me about big celebrities like Prince and Michael Jackson: these guys were stubborn and wouldn't listen to good advice.When Prince's plane made that emergency landing in Illinois,the doctor wanted Prince to stay overnight ("he was in dire condition",it was reported) but Prince insisted on leaving.I heard that Michael's family tried to help him several times,but he ignored their attempts to intervene It's possible that some of the people in Prince's camp tried to help him,but he simply refused to listen to them.

Unfortunately, maybe its pride...

Mr. Nelson also assured the crowd at the Paisley party that he was OK too...

It's just as bad with regulary folks too...I've seen it.

i wish i'd known he was truly ailing. i'm never getting over missing that last dance party
